The Chinese version of the revised report, “Bloody Harvest
– Revised Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners
in China,” is now available on http://organharvestinvestigation.net.
After nearly six months of continuous investigation, Canadian investigators Mr. David Matas and Mr. David Kilgour have more evidence to support the allegation of the Chinese Communist Party's organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners. On the morning of January 31, 2007, the two investigators released their revised report, “Bloody Harvest – Revised Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China”. The revised report expanded the previous 18 considerations to 33.
The revised report contains 16 new items of proof and disproof, including interviewing organ recipients, the large number of practitioners tortured to death or missing, large-scale construction of organ transplantation centers in China after the persecution, profit-making by China's military and medical system, the difference in ethics and law between China and other countries, the development of organ transplantation technology, and the large numbers of unidentified Falun Gong practitioners in detention.
