Aeran Posted October 4, 2015 Not that this isn't horrific, but is there a better source than the Daily Mail? I find it kind of hard to take anything they say seriously. And why Falun Gong? What is it about that sect in particular which makes it target for discrimination? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojole Posted October 6, 2015 The picture in the article with policeman taking money from doctors, who are making a surgery outdoors - are you kidding?))) I think it's brainwashing and propaganda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rara Posted October 6, 2015 A man once handed me a leaflet on this which had a link to a petition that I signed. Not to sure how it could possibly help in a corruption scenario but I guess the thought is there :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rara Posted October 6, 2015 And why Falun Gong? What is it about that sect in particular which makes it target for discrimination? From what I've heard, yes...they don't want people practicing such things apparently. And I guess those are healthy, useful organs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dust Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I don't doubt that there is a lucrative organ trade in China. I have heard horrible stories from friends. If certain things I've read online are true, and the majority of transplant organs come from prisoners, but there are loads more organs available for transplant than legally executed prisoners can account for, and certain people and organizations can make a lot of money from disappearing people and harvesting them... well... Suffice to say, I'm glad I'm not a rural Chinese person with an interest in Falun Dafa and a healthy liver. Edited October 6, 2015 by dustybeijing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dust Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) And why Falun Gong? What is it about that sect in particular which makes it target for discrimination? It is well-known that the government has persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners for many years... read through this site, it's got a lot of info: http://faculty.orinst.ox.ac.uk/terhaar/falun.htm Edited October 6, 2015 by dustybeijing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojole Posted October 7, 2015 It's easy to claim that Falun Gong's members organs are extracted. I first heard about that 10 years ago. Any proof since then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
