GLASGOW—Glasgow's links with mainland China came under the spotlight last weekend as claims emerged that hospitals in its twin city of Dalian, in the northeast of China, sell organs taken from executed prisoners of conscience.The northeast of China is the locus of organ harvesting of Falun Gong, no question about that. It’s where so much of my witness testimony points to.—Ethan Gutmann, author of "Losing the New China"
Glasgow hosted the European Society of Transplantation's annual congress on Sept. 4–7. Alongside it, Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH), a nonprofit medical organization, ran a forum in which it was alleged that the Chinese communist regime removes organs from healthy prisoners while they are still alive.
Organs such as livers, kidneys, and hearts are then sold on the black market to wealthy patients in need of organ transplants, who often travel from Western countries. The primary source of such organs, according to the Nobel peace prize-nominated human rights lawyer David Matas, are members of the spiritual practice Falun Gong, which was banned in China in 1999. Matas' findings are detailed in the book Bloody Harvest: The Killing of Falun Gong For Their Organs, co-written with former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour.
