    In 2006, The Epoch Times newspaper broke a stunning story about what is undoubtedly one of the most horrible atrocities to be committed by any government, not only in modern times, but in all of recorded history. As documented in the investigative report, "Bloody Harvest," by noted human rights lawyer David Matas and former Canadian Secretary of State for the Asia-Pacific region David Kilgour, there is overwhelming evidence of the Chinese Communist regime's chilling role in systematically murdering Falun Gong practitioners, harvesting their organs while they are alive, and making huge profits from doing so.
  • Jilin Province Prison Brutally Persecutes Falun Gong Practitioners and Deprives Them of Their Rights

    In China, release on bail for medical treatment is the procedure for all detainees when they are in critical condition. It is the right of all detainees, including actual criminals, and is clearly specified in China's law. For many years, Jilin Province Prison has broken this law, trampled human rights and treated human life as worthless. They have brutally persecuted imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners. When many practitioners' lives were in great danger due to the persecution, the prison not only failed to provide medical treatment, but also did not allow the practitioners to be released on bail for medical treatment. Moreover, they secretly stipulated that 10 per cent of deaths for imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners could be considered reasonable and acceptable for the prison.
