Mr. Ritchie said Australia raised the concerns in Australia China human rights dialogue and is investigating the issue.

The two-day 10th Australia-China human rights dialogue, held behind closed doors, ended on July 25. In the following press conference, many mainstream media asked questions about China’s human rights issues, especially the live organ removal from Falun Gong practitioners exposed in Canadian independent investigation report.

Asked whether the Australian Government will investigate the organ harvesting claimed in the report, Mr. Ritchie said that the Canadian report was very serious. He noticed that some media and public figures felt that the claims in the report were trustworthy. He said Australia cannot confirm or deny it at this moment. Australia is investigating the issue. If it is true, it is very worrying.
