China ‘killing Falun Gong members for organs’

A DAMNING report reveals China’s horrific trade in organs taken from Falun Gong prisoners but human rights and press freedom are not on the agenda for today’s EU-China summit in Helsinki.

The last five years have seen a huge increase in organ transplants in China and their sale at high prices, sometimes to foreigners who face long waits for voluntary donations in their home countries.

There were 10,000 kidney transplants alone in 2005, compared to 135 in the years before 1998, and 500 liver transplants in the first four months of this year.
