RFA: Canadian Human Rights Lawyer to Investigate Organ Harvesting Claims Against CCP


(Clearwisdom.net) On May 12, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported that former Canadian MP and a renowned human rights lawyer will conduct a joint investigation on claims of the CCP's atrocities of organ harvesting form living Falun Gong practitioners. They will submit the findings to the Canadian government.

Former MP David Kilgour and renowned human rights lawyer David Matas recently announced: The two will jointly investigate claims charging the Chinese Communist regime for harvesting organs from detained Falun Gong practitioners. The announcement was made several days after the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs publicly denied the charges.

The RFA report said, Kilgour acknowledged at the press conference that they may not be able to investigate the claims in China due to the Chinese Communist regime's objection. However, he believed that oversea investigation could still collect valuable findings.

Kilgour said: I served as prosecutor and lawyer for ten years and I have rich experience in this aspect. I hope that we can obtain positive results. Attorney Matas and I have already obtained large volumes of related materials.

Matas said that there are three possible conclusions based on regular rule of thumb: 1) the claims were true with concrete evidence; 2) the claims were fabricated; 3) the claims were partially true. He was confident that the investigation will discover something new.

Matas stressed that the investigation was still limited to personal efforts from Kilgour and himself without official sponsorship. He said: We haven't requested anything from the government. We will submit our reports to Canadian government. He said that the Canadian government shall take proper action against the Chinese communist regime if their investigation confirmed the claims.

Matas said that they will request the Canadian government to look into this issue seriously after they finish the investigation. He also added that official denial from the Chinese Communist regime didn't mean that the issues didn't exist. At the same time, he also acknowledged that there was no independent media confirmation except Falun Gong's claims.
