New York: China has been accused in the UNHRC of widespread harvesting of human organs from “living” people of the persecuted Uighur and Falun Gong groups, and that Beijing’s involvement in crimes against humanity has been “proved beyond reasonable doubt”.
Speaking at the UNHRC on the Tuesday, Hamid Sabi, Counsel to the China Tribunal, said the Tribunal “considered all available evidence and concluded that forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, including the religious and ethnic minorities of Falun Gong and Uighurs, has been committed for years throughout China on a significant scale, and that it continues today”.
“This involves hundreds of thousands of victims,” he said.
Sabi said that “acting on independent legal advice, the Tribunal concluded that commission of Crimes against Humanity against Falun Gong and Uyghurs had been proved beyond reasonable doubt”.
“Victim for victim and death for death, cutting out the hearts and other organs from living, blameless, harmless, peaceable people constitutes one of the worst mass atrocities of this century.
“Organ transplantation to save life is a scientific and social triumph. But killing the donor is criminal.
“Government and international bodies must do their duty not only in regard to the possible charge of genocide but also in regard to Crimes Against Humanity, which the tribunal does not consider to be less heinous.
“It is the legal obligation of UN Member States and the duty of this council to address this criminal conduct,” he said.
