On: Report on forced organ harvesting in China

I call this class of comment the "linkless martyr".

People make grand, self-flattering claims about why they were supposedly banned. Strangely, what they never do is supply links so readers can make up their own minds. Why do you suppose that is? Could it be that we don't ban accounts for "posting ethical objections"?

That’s a rather passive aggressive way to ask for a link, isn’t it?

Oh and what do you know, now that comment appears to have been flagged, too!

That account wasn't banned. The comment was flagged by users. Your second link also was flagged by users. No moderator did anything there. Perhaps it was flagged for being an overheated, unsubstantiated (and false) claim.
