LOS ANGELES - A La Puente pastor who made headlines in 2008 when he was arrested in China for his human rights activism at the Beijing Olympics again volunteered for arrest while protesting the visit of Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping to Los Angeles.
Rev. Eddie Perez Romero is a minister at the Hacienda Christian Fellowship, director of the activist organization China Aid Los Angeles and a instructor of religion, ethics and philosophy at Mt. San Antonio College.
He met with hundreds of others in front of the JW Marriot Hotel in Los Angeles Friday morning to protest Xi's visit, citing prevalent human rights abuses in China.
THE ORGAN DONATION CONNECTION: Dr. Dana Churchill, who heads a Los Angeles-based organization called Heartfelt Medicine, said that as a physician, his main focus is on the issue of forced organ transplants in China, through which prisoners or those held in labor camps have organs forcible removed for transplant.
