In the past three months, Kilgour has been around the world. He has visited the European Parliament in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, many cities in the United States, and the United Nations in New York. He tells the media and political leaders wherever he goes about the results of their investigation into the organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China.
