Taiwan, Mr. Kilgour and Mr. Matas have already visited 15 countries and areas, calling upon governments to take actions to stop the CCP’s crime. Mr. Kilgour also called upon the government to boycott the Olympic Games, which will be held in China in 2008, if the CCP doesn’t stop the crime of harvesting organs.
Former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour and international human rights attorney David Matas gave a talk and answered questions about their investigative report on organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to a group of reporters, politicians, experts and scholars at the Newsmaker Breakfast at the National Press…

Four witnesses testified at the hearing. More than 100 people, including House representatives, legislative assistants, officials and advisers from the US government, and reporters attended the hearing.

Chinese authorities kill political prisoners and harvest their healthy body parts for use in organ transplants, two Canadian jurists have [concluded]. When will Australia protest?
The new human rights report alleges the increase in organ availability can be attributed to one fact: the execution of Falun Gong practitioners detained by the Chinese Government, who are then quite literally harvested for parts.
A human rights lawyer and a former cabinet minister in Canada have added their weight to charges that China has been killing Falun Gong dissidents so it can use their organs. They provided English transcripts of phone calls, in Mandarin, made to detention centres and organ transplant clinics in which officials said organs from Falun…
A former Canadian cabinet member and a human rights lawyer issued a report overnight alleging China harvests organs from unwilling live prison inmates, mostly Falun Gong practitioners, for transplants on a large scale.
