New Delhi - Canada's former Secretary of State (Asia Pacific) David Kilgour has shown concern over the killing of Falun Gong prisoners in China for the purpose of organ harvesting. In the past few years the business of organ harvesting has been booming in China, but from where have these Organs been harvested such that they can be sold in markets? Behind this there is said to be a secret political controversy.

David Kilgour, along with Canada's well known human rights activist David Matas has prepared a report which states that there have been around 41,500 cases of Organ Harvesting in China in the past 5 years. There were no provisions made for donation of organs in China. In addition to that, the organs have not been taken from those people who have lost their lives in calamities. David Kilgour stated the question then "From where have these organs been harvested?” And why don’t the Chinese hospitals keep any records of these so called Organ Donors? The Chinese government has already accepted the fact that it uses the organs of those prisoners who are sentenced to death, but the numbers don’t match. The question remains, where did these organs come from? Their allegation states that there is a lot of evidence which states that Falun Gong prisoners have been killed for this purpose.

The Hindi publication of the report would also be out in few days. In a special meet with David Kilgour who had come down to India with regard to the publication of the Hindi version of the report, he stated that he had taken up the issue with the authorities of the "World Transplantation Society" in the presence of China's Premier Wen Jiabao. The conclusion being that the buyers were amongst the affluent people of America, Taiwan, Canada, Korea and Japan who have not been able to acquire organs anywhere else in world are able to acquire the organs of a live person within a week’s time in China.

Falun Gong has spread in a miraculous way in 78 countries across the world. The number of people taking up to this practice in India is also increasing steadily. Falun Gong is a spiritual practice of Chinese origin. It has the spiritual teachings from the Buddha school as well as the Tao school incorporated in it. The practice was initially introduced in the year 1992 and had 70 million practitioners within the year 1999.  This number was greater than the number of members of  Chinese Communist Party. This was a cause of worry for the then president of the CCP, Jiang Zemen who imposed a ban on the practice.

David Kilgour justifies that he is essentially has nothing against the Chinese but he cannot close his eyes to the violence that is happening in China. He further states that when his report was presented in Ottawa (Canada) , the Chinese officials just stated that "The issues that were taken up by the report were against China", but the Chinese authorities till today have not come back with any answers with regard to the issues that were taken up by the report.
