Lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) urged international organizations Tuesday to investigate claims that emerged about Chinese authorities harvesting organs from detained Falun Gong members in China.
Legislators William Lai, Tien Chiu-chin and Huang Chao-hui proposed that the Legislative Yuan issue a resolution to urge Amnesty International and the World Health Organization to send a task force to an alleged Chinese concentration camp to investigate allegations that Chinese authorities are harvesting human organs from detained Falun Gong members.
Lai urged people not to receive organ transplants in China not only because its medical care level is not as good as in Taiwan, but also because patients should not accept organs harvested in violation of human rights.
Falun Gong members in Taiwan claim that China is running a Nazi-style concentration camp where around 6,000 Falun Gong members are detained, and the harvested organs are sold to patients around the world.
