Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting

On October 10, David Matas was invited to present the findings of his report at an open forum hosted by the Malaysia Bar Association. The report caught the attention of many law professionals and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). After listening to Mr. Matas' presentation, Malaysian human rights attorney Edmund Bon decided to join the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) to help collect more evidence of the persecution and the organ harvesting. Many others said they would study the report and then decide whether to join the (CIPFG).

In addition, the website of the Malaysia Bar Association posted an article about the forum. At the end of the article, it was stated: More than 90 people including many lawyers, reporters and students attended the forum and obtained a better picture on the organ harvesting atrocities. Many forum attendees believe that the world should focus on this and seek a solution immediately if such allegations are true.
