(Clearwisdom.net) Member of Germany's Christian Democratic Party and the Party's spokesperson for human rights, Ms. Erika Steinbach, in a reply to a letter from Falun Gong practitioners, mentioned that on March 29, 2007, two Canadian independent investigators, David Matas and David Kilgour, and several members of the International Human Rights Committee held a hearing of witnesses in the German Parliament. The persons in charge of the German Parliamentary Human Rights Committee are very worried about the fact that living Falun Gong practitioners are selected for the removal of their organs by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), exposed in the investigation report by the two Canadians.

According to a member of the International Human Rights Committee Council, Mr. Manyang Wu, who attended the parliamentary hearing, this was a closed-door hearing of witnesses. With the exception of the Social Democratic Party, who were formerly the East German Communist Party and who did not attend, all other political parties had representatives present at the hearing. As seen from the attentive expressions of these Members of Parliament, Manyang Wu believed that they would treat this accusation against the CCP seriously.

In the letter, Ms. Steinbach also said that the German Parliament's Human Rights Committee would take Mr. Kilgour's suggestions, urging German society to pay attention to the issue of Chinese organ transplants. For example, the Human Rights Committee would make contact with the oldest and largest Berlin hospital, the Charite, asking them to pay attention to issues related to the Chinese organ transplantation system.
