It is an honor to invite you to an event featuring Jan Jekielek, senior editor of The Epoch Times, human rights advocate and host of "American Thought Leaders."

He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary, a book which addresses a topic we can barely contemplate even as it is a crucial part of our understanding of the nature of the Chinese Communist Party, as well as the broader implications for global human rights.

What if everything you need to understand about the Chinese Communist Party—and how the free world should respond to it—could be explained through this one issue?

In this urgent and eye-opening book, journalist Jan Jekielek distills decades of investigations from reputable sources, combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand insight, into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to the CCP. Through the lens of grave human rights abuses—most disturbingly, the state-sanctioned harvesting of organs from prisoners of conscience—Jekielek exposes the inner workings of a regime built on deception, coercion, and control. Killed to Order: The Organ Harvesting Industry of China and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary reveals why continuing to misunderstand the CCP poses a growing threat to global freedom.

Jan Jekielek is an award-winning journalist, filmmaker, and senior editor at The Epoch Times, known for hosting “American Thought Leaders” and producing impactful documentaries.

Years ago Jan was studying the evolutionary biology of lemurs in Madagascar, when his life took an unexpected turn. Exposed to the realities of human rights violations in China, he ended up working with an underground railroad bringing Chinese dissidents through the Golden Triangle to Bangkok and ultimately to Western countries. It was then that he realized that telling unknown heroes’ stories was transformative, both for him and audiences.

Determined to tell true stories, Jan started working with The Epoch Times 20 years ago, at a time when popular narratives in the West hid the dark underbelly of communist China. He did some of the earliest reporting on the Chinese regime’s continuing practice of forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience.

Over the last seven years, as host of “American Thought Leaders” he has interviewed over a thousand thought leaders on camera, including heads of state, multiple U.S. cabinet secretaries and agency heads, and congressional members.  Guests include Secretary Marco Rubio, General Mike Flynn, Jordan Peterson, Victor Davis Hanson and Jim Caviezel among hundreds of others, with hundreds of millions of views.  

Jekielek recently authored the New York Times bestseller Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary, which examines forced organ harvesting in China and the broader implications for global human rights.
