Recently the mainstream media in Denmark reported on the independent Canadian investigation into organ harvesting. On July 13th, Danish news agency Ritzau released news about the investigation. The title of the report is 'China is selling Falun Gong practitioners’ organs'.
This report was reprinted by other mainstream media. Major Danish newspapers Berlingske Tidende, Jyllands-Posten and the Danish TV Channel 2 all put this news as their headlines on the same day.
This report said that according to the recently released report by the Canadian independent investigation group, Falun Gong practitioners’ organs were sold in China. An MEP suggested abolishing China’s right to host the 2008 Olympic Games. As the writers of the report said, in recent years, thousands of Falun Gong practitioners were killed in China and they were not protected by any law. Then practitioners’ organs were sold to the people who need corneas, livers, kidneys, lungs or hearts at the price of hundreds of kroner.
The Communist regime in China is selling executed prisoners’ organs, this is one issue. Their killing of a person is to provide a kidney to another person, for example, a Scandinavian, is another issue altogether. One of the writers of the report, former Canadian diplomat David Kilgour condemned this practice in a press conference.
Another writer of the report is famous human rights lawyer David Matas. They both could not tell the exact number of people murdered, however, Kilgour pointed out that it had been affirmed that this is genocide commited by the Chinese government.
This investigation reports thousands of people being murdered is done through interviewing government officials, doctors and people who were once detained in prison. The report pointed out that in China there are at least thirteen concentration camps and hospitals claiming to sell organs. On Wednesday July 12th, Ritzau visited the English website of a Chinese hospital. On the website, the price of a kidney is labeled at 363,000 kroner.
The investigation report states that prisoners were subjected to torture and medical checks, which means that unwilling organ donors maintain their life in concentration camps until their organs found a match to a patient. European Parliament Vice-President Edward McMillan-Scott said that he made a trip to China to investigate this issue and one of the Falun Gong witnesses he met was caught by the Chinese authorities soon afterwards. He was indignant at this.
During Thursday’s press conference, McMillan-Scott urged the United Nations to investigate into this issue. He thought that China’s right to host 2008 Olympic Games should be abolished. Kilgour suggested that westerners who had organ transplant operations in China should at least pay tax for buying an organ.
Falun Gong is an exercise like Yoga with millions of people practicing it. This spiritual movement does not get involved in any political affairs. However since 1999, the Chinese government regarded it as a threat. Beijing has denied the investigation report written by Matas and Kilgour and claimed it was a lie by Falun Gong.
