“Organ harvesting is a very, very serious issue these years. Falun Gong is the foremost victims in this crime,” stated Mr. Willy Fautre, director of Human Rights Without Frontiers.
“Falun Gong practitioners are very peaceful people. They don't use violence and don't promote violence,” added Mr. Fautre. “They have created greater awareness in the places where they've held activities, including China and many other countries.”
