• Norwegian National Media Reports on CCP's Trade in Organs Harvested from Falun Gong Practitioners

  2006-07-15
  Kilgour and Matas point to the difficulty trying to prove the allegations, as a result of them being denied permission to travel to China to do this research. However "everything seems to point to the fact that thousands of prisoners are having their organs removed forcefully without consent, to become items for transplantations. Thereafter the prisoner dies, are cremated and all evidence is removed" according to NRK. According to NRK, the report further says that, "many arrested Falun Gong-practitioners are missing, and nobody knows what happened to them. It is likely that many of these have had their organs removed".
