murder-on-demand
is committed for
transplantation purposes.

to the ongoing genocidal campaign against Falun Gong
practitioners in China.

LATEST
EVIDENCE: Ground-breaking witness accounts

New
book The Slaughter by Ethan Gutmann

The
inside story of China’s organ transplant
business and its macabre connection
with internment camps and killing
fields for arrested dissidents, especially
the adherents of Falun Gong.

Mass murder is alive and well. That
is the stark conclusion of this comprehensive
investigation into the Chinese state’s
secret program to get rid of political
dissidents while profiting from the
sale of their organs – in many cases
to Western recipients. Based on interviews
with top-ranking police officials
and Chinese doctors who have killed
prisoners on the operating table,
veteran China analyst Ethan Gutmann
has produced a riveting insider’s
account – culminating in a death toll
that will shock the world.

Email Alert

It
has come to our attention that there are a number of emails
circulating to Members of Parliament and local councilors
that purport to be from Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) practitioners.

These
emails express extreme views which are not in accord with
Falun Dafa’s principles of truthfulness, compassion, tolerance,
and its teachings to look within and consider others before
oneself.
