President of "Hong Kong Residents Supporting China Democratic Movement Union" Calls on Local People not to Receive Unlawful Organ Transplants in China

July 19, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) Canadian "Independent Investigation Team on Live Organ Removal" issued a report in Hong Kong on Sunday saying that there are unlawful live organ sources originating in China. Mr. Szeto Wah, president of the Hong Kong Residents Supporting China Democratic Movement Union, said that live organ transplantation and trade is too barbaric. He urged residents not to go to mainland China for organ transplants.

Radio Free Asia reported on July 17 that an independent investigation team consisting of international human rights lawyer David Matas, and David Kilgour, former Secretary of State (Asia-Pacific) for Canada issued a report under the invitation of Ho Chun Yan, member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council and Szeto Wah, president of the Hong Kong Residents Supporting China Democratic Movement Union.

The investigation report pointed out that based on investigations there was a large unlawful live organ source. Mr. Matas said that because of easy degeneration of organs, low matching rates for organs, and short waiting times for organ transplants in China, much shorter than other countries, a large number of people must be available to provide the organs. The organ sources includes inmates, imprisoned minorities and Falun Gong practitioners. The report stated that there was evidence of live organ trade.

Szeto Wah said in an interview that if the CCP regime continuously denies live organ transplantation, it should allow investigation teams to collect evidence in China. Otherwise the CCP's denials only mean that it is afraid of exposing the facts.
