Fact or fiction?

The accusation that China is harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners and selling them to the highest bidders sounds too exaggerated to be true.

But David Kilgour, a former Crown prosecutor in Manitoba, MP of 26 years and Secretary of State for Asia and the Pacific in 2002 and 2003, maintains he’s uncovered evidence that this is not the fiction of some gothic horror film.

In a recent report, Kilgour includes evidence from former prisoners who said they saw Falun Gong practitioners being kept as a live human organ bank, the former wife of a surgeon alleged to have removed 2,000 corneas from involuntary victims, and live interviews between hospital staff and an undercover organ buyer.

By his calculations 41,000 transplants were unaccounted for in 2000 - meaning 41,000 transplants were performed, but no records of the donors exist.

Given Kilgour’s reputation and stature, this report deserves closer investigation by the United Nations, which he has requested.

After all, Kilgour says, in 1943 no one believed reports of the atrocities being committed in Germany’s gas chambers.

If the allegations are true, the practice must be stopped.

If they are false, the Chinese government deserves to be exonerated of these serious charges.— Victoria News
