Does China Harvest Organs From Living Prisoners?



Nina Strochlic


A new PBS documentary examines claims that China collects organs from live and dead prisoners to traffic on its massive black market.


You may have seen them handing out flyers in small groups on city streets. Their hands moving in the slow-motion style of Tai Chi, silently protesting at their 13-year, 24-hour vigil in London, or in the annual demonstration at United Nations headquarters in New York. Their serenity is in stark contrast to the images often being passed out: gruesome torture wounds and bloodied bodies. "Stop Organ Harvesting in China," some signs read.

These are Falun Gong practitioners, a minority spiritual group in China. They claim that the Chinese government is torturing them and harvesting their organs, and they want to know why no one is listening.

A new documentary seeks to explore why the world has turned a blind eye to years of allegations that China is arbitrarily imprisoning this minority religious group and then torturing or killing them, selling their organs, and getting rich off transplant tourism.
