Council of Europe Motion Asks for Hearing on the Organ-Harvesting Case (Photo)



(Clearwisdom.net) The second steering committee meeting of the Council of Europe in 2006 was held in Strasbourg from April 10-13, 2006. Eleven representatives of the COE raised a motion asking for a hearing on the case which was recently exposed to the public regarding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) crimes of organ-harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners, and also demand that the Chinese government open all labor camps to international delegations to conduct independent investigations.

This motion is entitled "Need for a public hearing on organ harvesting in China." The document ID is #10904.


Lately many reports about organ harvesting in communist China have been reaching Europe. It was mentioned in the motion that according to a Reuter's report, the United Nations' torture investigator said that thousands of Falun Gong followers were being held in a Chinese concentration camp, and some had been killed.

The motion also included the following three requests:

Allow the United Nations and other rights organizations to conduct independent investigations of all China's labor camps and other detention facilities where prisoners of conscience are held.

Allow international rights organizations to immediately investigate the conditions of all Falun Gong practitioners and other dissidents held in all labor camps, jails and detention centers.

Allow international organizations to investigate all non-voluntary or undocumented removals and sale of organs from the Chinese people.

It was said at the end of the motion that, "All these considerations show that there is a need for a public hearing on the organ harvesting in China."

This motion was drafted by the Swedish Parliamentarian, Mr. Lindblad, and jointly signed by eleven parliamentarians from Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Estonia and Greece.
