Report from De Morgen (Belgium): ‘Falun Gong followers are being killed for their organs’
2006-07-24That the Falun Gong movement, under persecution in China since July 1999, is subject to virulent repression is nothing new.

The allegations the two Canadians have formulated in their new report even goes a step further. According to them, Falun Gong followers are being killed only for their organs, and are then being cremated. -

Report in German Newspaper Buersche Zeitung: "More and more people practice Falun Gong"
2006-07-17“The means of brainwashing in Shanghai labour camp is very sly. They don’t beat people. The guards are kind and friendly to Falun Gong practitioners on the surface. But every Falun Gong practitioner is arranged to stay alone in a squadron of prisoners. A dozen prisoners watch one practitioner day and night. They never punish Falun Gong practitioners but punish the watchers. If practitioners do not give up their belief, the labour camp does not let them do their chores of daily life, but let the watchers do it for them".
