A report released in Canada says China's
military is harvesting organs from prison inmates for large scale transplants,
including some for foreign recipients.
The study says the organs are
mostly taken from jailed Falun Gong practitioners.
The report was
released by Canada's former Secretary of State for the Asia Pacific region,
David Kilgour, and human rights lawyer David Matas, after interviewing organ
recipients in 30 countries.
The report says that like many civilian hospitals in rural
China, military hospitals turned to selling organs to make up for government
funding cuts in the 1980s.
