• Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine (United Kingdom): The Falun Gong, organ transplantation, the holocaust and ourselves

  2007-03-15
  "As the allegation unfolds, the story seems horrific to the point of being beyond belief. So alarmed was I on learning of this allegation that I struggled to make sense of it. The element of the story that horrifies me most, if it is true, is that it is my medical colleagues, the doctors, who perpetrate these acts. This is the only element that I have the capacity to address. While I cannot get more evidence than has already been offered I can at least test this allegation for credibility."

• Letter to IOC from David Kilgour and David Matas

  2007-03-14
  "Regrettably, it confirms our earlier conclusion, that the government of China and its agencies in numerous parts of the country, in particular in hospitals but also detention centers and ‘people’s courts’ have put to death a large but unknown number of Falun Gong prisoners of conscience since 1999. Their vital organs, including hearts, kidneys, livers and corneas were virtually, simultaneously seized involuntarily for sale at high prices, sometimes to foreigners who normally face long waits for voluntary donations of such organs in their home countries.”

• Regaining My Life

  2007-03-13
  I'm a 21 year old woman living in a remote mountain area in Gansu Province of China. I'm a practitioner who started to practise Falun Gong in 2002. I feel that it was only since I began to practise did my life truly begin, as my first 20 years were controlled by illness. When I was only a little girl, I had already suffered from tracheitis, hepatitis and gastroenteritis. There was a problem with my eyes as well. My eyesight deteriorated and my eyes were red and swollen. Each day I had to take medicine and injections. The various illnesses made me very weak. Though my parents kept taking me to see different doctors, the doctors could not help either.

• France: Human Rights Groups Discuss Organ Harvesting

  2007-03-11
  “Falun Gong has been acknowledged and accepted in many countries around the world. In France, some organisations have understood Falun Gong, but many people and media have yet to really understand Falun Gong at present. We don’t know why the Chinese regime would regard this absolutely harmless spiritual movement based on the universal principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance” as a threat to the nation and perpetrate the cruel persecution against it. We are against all the atrocities of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners."

• Denmark's Second Biggest City Plans to End its Friendship with Harbin City in China

  2007-03-09
  “Even if these accusations were a whisper, but only a touch of them is true, it is worthwhile for us to discuss whether we should take it as our sister city. If such terrible incidents have taken place in Harbin, we should not take it as our sister city. Otherwise, how can we face our citizens and Chinese who have escaped from the autarchy and made their home in Arhus? How can we make reasonable justification for ourselves?” Marc Perera Christensen of the Conservative Party
