An independent tribunal sitting in London has concluded that the killing of detainees in China for organ transplants is continuing, and victims include imprisoned followers of the Falun Gong movement.
The China Tribunal, chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, who was a prosecutor at the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said in a unanimous determination at the end of its hearings it was “certain that Falun Gong as a source - probably the principal source - of organs for forced organ harvesting”.
“The conclusion shows that very many people have died indescribably hideous deaths for no reason, that more may suffer in similar ways and that all of us live on a planet where extreme wickedness may be found in the power of those, for the time being, running a country with one of the oldest civilisations known to modern man.”
He added: “There is no evidence of the practice having been stopped and the tribunal is satisfied that it is continuing.”
[...] China announced in 2014 that it would stop removing organs for transplantation from executed prisoners and has dismissed the claims as politically-motivated and untrue.
[...] There have been calls for the UK parliament to ban patients from travelling to China for transplant surgery. More than 40 MPs from all parties have backed the motion. Israel, Italy, Spain and Taiwan already enforce such restrictions.

I am more accustomed to seeing it spelled Molek.
Molek in the old testament often appears mentioned with Chemosh.
Molek mentioned as god of "Ammon", "Ammonites", or "Amorites.
Chemosh mentioned as god of Moab or Moabites.
Ammonites are descended from Ben-Ammi.
Both Ben-Ammi and Moab are two sons born to Lot. On one night Lot's older daughter gets Lot drunk, copulates with him, and conceives Moab. The next night the younger daughter gets Lot drunk, copulates with him, and conceives Ben-Ammi, from which the Ammonites come. Genesis 19:30-36 [biblegateway.com] "Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father."
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
