  • Swedish Daily Sydsvenska Dagbladet:“We Can Not Turn a Blind Eye to the Crime of Organ Harvesting"

    "The condition of prisoners in China is increasingly well known but it is only in recent months that a particular mistreatment of Falun Gong practitioners has come to light, namely the selection of prisoners for 'reverse-match' organ and tissue transplants, leading to their deaths. This is genocide, as defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide".

    "She also tells of her mother, who introduced her daughter to Falun Gong and who is detained in a Chinese prison for one and a half years. Falun Gong has been banned in China since 1999. She has not heard anything from her mother since that year. She has fought for her release with signature campaigns. Xiaoyang Wang explained that her father had warned her not to return to China. At the same time, he asked her to also watch out for herself in Switzerland. The arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a long reach".

  • Report in German Newspaper Buersche Zeitung: "More and more people practice Falun Gong"

    “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".

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

    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".

Coauthored by former Canadian Secretary of State (Asia-Pacific) David Kilgour and human rights attorney David Matas, the report draws "the regrettable conclusion that the allegations are true."

    "The special commissioner of the Parliament deemed illegal Iceland officials’ treatment of Falun Gong practitioners during Jiang Zemin’s visit to Iceland in the summer of 2002. Four years have gone by. Yet it is still critical for the Iceland authorities to correct the mistake made, for example, by adopting a clear stance on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) recent atrocities of human rights persecution. The CCP regime, which has claimed sixty or eighty million lives during peacetime, is allegedly profiting from organs harvested from living people".
