China was accused on Tuesday of harvesting human organs from persecuted groups in the country.

The China Tribunal, a pressure group that's investigating the organ harvesting, said at a tense meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council that the Chinese government was taking hearts, kidneys, lungs, and skin from groups including Uighur Muslims and members of the Falun Gong religious group.

The China Tribunal describes itself as a group of lawyers, academics, and medical professionals, backed by the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China, an Australian not-for-profit organization.


China has denied carrying out mass harvesting of organs in any circumstance.

Addressing UN representatives, a lawyer for the China Tribunal, Hamid Sabi, said the group had proof of the organ harvesting.

Sabi said the group had found that China was committing "crimes against humanity" by harvesting organs from religious minorities like the Uighurs and members of Falun Gong, which has been banned and widely persecuted by the Chinese government.

"Forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, including the religious minorities of Falun Gong and Uighurs, has been committed for years throughout China on a significant scale," Sabi said in a video published on the China Tribunal website.

Sabi was presenting evidence from the tribunal's final report, published in June, which found that a "very substantial number" of prisoners were "killed to order" by the Chinese government.

They were "cut open while still alive for their kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, cornea and skin to be removed and turned into commodities for sale," the report said.

The body parts were then used for medical purposes, it said, citing extremely short wait times for organ transplants in Chinese hospitals as evidence of the practice.


The report was led by Sir Geoffrey Nice, a British lawyer who was the lead prosecutor in the trial of Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslavian president.

Sabi told the UN council on Tuesday that China's efforts involved "hundreds of thousands of victims," describing it as "one of the worst mass atrocities of this century."

He did not specify how many organs the China Tribunal believes had been harvested, or the number taken from Uighurs and from Falun Gong members.


"Victim for victim and death for death, cutting out the hearts and other organs from living, blameless, harmless, peaceable people constitutes one of the worst mass atrocities of this century," he said.

"Organ transplantation to save life is a scientific and social triumph, but killing the donor is criminal."

Reuters said China has insisted that it "stopped using organs from executed prisoners in 2015."

The Chinese government did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment on Sabi's testimony.


Sabi concluded by saying that it is the duty of international bodies like the UN to investigate the tribunal's findings "not only in regard to the possible charge of genocide, but also in regard to crimes against humanity."
Human right body dont see Palestine n Kashmir .
 
The maps are roughly reasonable. You can tell from your personal experience. There are two possible conclusions: 1, Religion hurts IQ. 2, The higher your IQ is, there is better chance that you tend to be atheist.
Agree there completely. When you read, understand and analyse things you start to find out how much of a hindrance and falsehood religion is. Only scientific methodology has and is taking humanity forward.

i am quit surprised about UN human rights that they didn't say any word about Burma Muslims killing or didn't do any thing about Philistine or Kashmir issue but they are so upset & curious for Uighur Muslims...
 
What china is doing is horrible but rich coming for Organization made to support Jewish bastards and their inhuman treatment of Palastinians!!

what did UN do for Rohinyas? Palastinians? Afghans? Kashmiris!!

no one will come to our aid until we unite and fk them for their atrocities!

None of those is selling human organs.
 
China harvests organs of Falun gong practitioners, China harvests organs of dissidents, China harvest organs of prisoners, China harvest organs of Tibetans , China harvest organs of Christians, China harvests organs of Muslims..China is such a busy harvester...
 
IQ is not only element of the "mind" as complete. It's just one of them. There are autistic people with super-high IQ but unable to control his arm alone. Then there brilliant scientists who believes in God and member of a religion. Religion doesn't kill your mind or brain, it's how you practice religion does. You can either use it to evaluate or to down. Shortly IQ ≠ Mind.

Quoting from Nobel award winning scientist in Physics science ;

" The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you "

It's funny, really.

Science only proves the existence of God, and not the other way around.

I suspect it's mostly a case of people becoming knowledgeable in natural sciences etc. and assuming they know best or must provide concrete evidence for everything before they can believe it.

In the end, if you don't believe something, no one can make you. However, you also do not have the right to force others not to believe.

Doesn't Australia export 5.0$ billion worth of meat to China. Australia should ban that if they themselves believe that report.
