A tribunal initiated by the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China concluded that China illegally harvested the organs of prisoners, sometimes while they were still alive.
The conclusion, delivered yesterday, focused on the ruling Communists Party’s use of torture and organ harvesting from specific populations. The tribunal found that the majority of the organs harvested were from Falun Gong practitioners, a form of meditation that the Chinese leadership views as an “evil cult” that encourages disobedience. The report also investigated the recent imprisonment and harboring of organs from Uyghur Muslims. The statement concluded that “Crimes Against Humanity against the Falun Gong and Uyghurs has been proved beyond reasonable doubt.”
