(Minghui.org) On October 11, 2013, the German newspaper, Augsburger Allgemeine , published an article titled, “The Fight Against Human Organ Transplantation.” The article exposed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) practice of killing Falun Gong practitioners for their organs and selling them to donor recipients for huge profits.

Falun Gong practitioners called on kind-hearted people in Rennertshofen, a municipality in the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen in Bavaria, Germany, not to go to China for organ transplantations.

For the past decade, Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience, have been medically tested, killed-to-order, and used as a living donor bank for China's transplant industry. Unlike other countries, China has no large-scale voluntary organ donation system, so instead, military hospitals use prisoners.

“China's huge living donor bank has spawned a veritable organ transplantation industry,” said 50-year-old Falun Gong practitioner, Ursula Dusolt, during the interview.

Ms. Dusolt set up a informational booth on Spitalplatz, in Rennertshofen, on October 13, to collect signatures condemning the Chinese regime's crime of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

“Six years ago, my life was not going the way that I wanted it to; I was tired both mentally and physically,” explained Ms. Dusolt. “I was searching for something that would give my life meaning, something that would bring all of the different components of my life together,”

Her brother then introduced her to the practice of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline first introduced in China in 1992, by its founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, which is based on the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

“When the the Chinese regime realized that over 100 million people were practicing Falun Gong, they decided to eradicate it, afraid of its sheer numbers. Since 1999, practitioners have been persecuted and sent to prisons and labor camps by the thousands.”

David Matas, a Canadian human rights lawyer, and David Kilgour, a former Canadian Member of Parliament, reported that mainland China hospitals made guarantees on their websites, telling Western visitors that they could arrange to have an organ transplanted within two weeks, and even in some cases, in a few days.

“Doctors in labor camps draw prisoners' blood to analyze their blood type,” said Dusolt. “If anyone matches a transplant candidate, he will be killed and his or her organs will be sold.

“This year, the organization, Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting, launched a petition calling on the United Nations to conduct an independent investigation into organ harvesting in China.

“Within two weeks of the petition's launch, 166,000 people from 33 countries in Europe had signed the petition. The total global figure now exceeds 450,000.”
