CBS: Group Claims China Harvesting Members' Organs

March 1, 2007

(Clearwisdom.net) CBS 11 News in Plano, Texas, reported on February 26 how the fastest growing spiritual movement in Asia is affecting people in Texas. [...]

Dr. Wenyi Wang, a journalist and activist at the University of Colorado, practices Falun Gong. "You have to pay attention to both the spiritual and the physical," said Dr. Wang. It was said to be so effective in healing that the Chinese have embraced it for years. "By 1999," Wang said, "the number of practitioners had exploded to 100 million." That's 30 million more people than the Chinese Communist Party. That's when the trouble began.

In 1999, the Falun Gong movement was banned by the Chinese Communist Party [and persecuted brutally].

In 2006, The Epoch Times reported that organs were being harvested by the Chinese government from living Falun Gong prisoners. Dr. Wang protested the atrocities last year in Washington. Former Secretary of State David Kilgour, a prominent human rights activist and prosecutor, launched an investigation. "Since the persecution of Falun Gong five years ago, the number of transplants has gone through the roof," he said. In a five year period, there have been about 41,500 organ transplants.

Kilgour has taped conversations of people posing as patients calling Chinese hospitals. The doctors on the recordings admit they can get organs from living people that practice Falun Gong.

[...]

"My parents, they were both 63 years old, but they were sent to the forced labor camp," Plano resident Ms. Fu Chen said.

Her only hope might be Kilgour, who is prepared to call for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics. "We simply want to make sure this practice stops immediately," he said. "People are dying literally as we speak. Even the very young."
