Rotarians around the world have played a vital role in raising awareness about forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China. In the recent New York Times bestseller Killed to Order (released March 17, 2026), investigative journalist Jan Jekielek examines the evolution of this industry and why awareness is more critical than ever. As both a journalist and a new Rotarian, Jan recognizes the global grassroots efforts of Rotary members in bringing this humanitarian issue to light. Jan will share his insights as a panelist.
