China: Harvesting and Trading in Human Organs Is a Nation's Shame

The Epoch Times reports that "after reading the independent investigative report by former Canadian MP Mr David Kilgour and renowned international human rights lawyer Mr. David Matas, Father Feng Chi-wood - former Member of Hong Kong's Legislative council said that he is confident of the credibility of this report. He said: "These two men come from a professional background and I agree with their analysis."

Father Feng Chi-wood pointed out that this report further verifies that the Chinese Communist regime is indeed carrying out a brutal persecution of Falun Gong, "therefore I infer that an atrocity against human values, human dignity and human rights is truly happening in China, that is, stealing of human organs… This is a horrifying revelation that I cannot accept."

These alleged crimes must be investigated thoroughly and the regime responsible must be condemned for its culpability. China is responsible for ongoing atrocities against dissidents on many fronts, and yet wants to be seen as a world leader. It would do well to examine the loss of credibility the US is experiencing over prisoner abuses and its prosecution of the war in Iraq and adjust its position on Tibet and Falun Gong accordingly. The world is watching and will look more closely as the Olympic Games approach.
