Made In China: Kidney, Liver, Cornea?
It sounds like a bad horror flick. It sounds unbelievable. We all want it to be no more than a myth. But I fear that it is/might be true: Falun Gong practisioners have been victims of organ harvesting at concentration camps in many different locations throughout China. Actually, death camps seem to be a more proper description. According to several witnesses the only way out of the camps is through the chimneys above the furnaces.
Organ harvesting is nothing new in China. And in 2003 the word "Laogai" became well known in the West. Laogai is a number of working camps where people are enslaved and "reeducated" by work and punishment. But this is something different. The Chinese government is of course denying the allegations. In the words of The Epoch Times:
"On April 12 major wire services published accounts of a press briefing held by the Chinese State Council on April 11. Officials of the Sujiatun District of Shenyang City and officials of the Liaoning Thrombus Treatment Center of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine denied that a large number of Falun Gong practitioners had once been detained in Sujiatun and also denied the harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners there."

I would like to bring to your attention news on the authenticity of the China concentration camp allegation:
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,18669046-7583,00.html
"It appears the claims by Falun Gong have been at least substantially exaggerated. Initial investigations by researchers for a US congressional committee have identified the site at Sujiatun as a hospital, where it is suspected organ harvesting occurs but on nowhere near the scale claimed"
I would like to appeal to your that if there is no concentration camp, rather isolated cases of abuse and irregularity contrary to Chinese law, then there exists a very different reality than what's alleged.
While I agree China's human rights abuse should be examined, as with all human rights abusers in the world including my own country USA - lifting data from websites and writing allegory of "Schindler's List" is not the way.
If we in the West can not be precise with our facts, only resort to nefarious indictment, who will take what we say seriousely?
I agree that the West must be precise with "our" facts. Especially in relation to opressive dictatorships such as the Chinese government, since we hardly can trust their ability to present things in a reliable way.
So what do we do if it turns out that only several hundred Falun Gong practitioners have been victims of organ harvesting instead of thousands. Case closed?
The worrysome fact that have set NGO:s on red alert is that the information of organ harvesting have come from several independent sources from within China.
Obviously, NGO:s working towards China have no known tendency to portray the Chinese government in a positive way. However, they have even less interest in forwarding false information.
I'm not aware of any NGO besides Falun Gong groups that are promoting this "Auschwitz" story. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
I have looked for information on Google, and I have placed what I found in a blog.
I will only impose my theory on you if you demand it.

I have read basically everything you have either written or referred to in this matter. Obviously this is a case of word against word. Thus, a thorough and independent investigation is needed to find out, if possible, what really did or did not happen.
According to Reuters newsagency UN envoy Manfred Nowak is looking into the cas.
