Human Rights Lawyers Urge Australian Parliament to Condemn Chinese Organ Harvesting

Two prominent human rights lawyers are urging Australian lawmakers to pass a motion to end the Chinese Communist Party’s practice of harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience, namely Falun Gong practitioners, reported The Associated Press on Nov. 21.

David Matas, a longtime human rights lawyer, David Kilgour, a former prosecutor and Canadian Member of Parliament, and author and investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann have estimated that Chinese hospitals perform between 60,000 to 100,000 organ transplants each year.

The killing of Falun Gong practitioners, Muslim Uighurs, Tibetan Buddhists, and Christians are the only “plausible explanation” for the sources of the organs, they argued. Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese meditation practice that became popular in China in the 1990s before July 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party started a campaign to eliminate it. 

In June, Kilgour, Matas, and a small team of researchers released a report titled“Bloody Harvest/The Slaughter: An Update” that estimates between 1.5 and 2.5 million million transplants could have been performed at Chinese medical facilities over the past 16 years.

“The ultimate conclusion of this update, and indeed our previous work, is that China has engaged in the mass killing of innocents,” Matas said at the time.

In July, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed H.Res.343 that noted “persistent and credible reports of systematic, state-sanctioned organ harvesting from nonconsenting prisoners of conscience in the People’s Republic of China.”
