Lee also noted that although, China refuted the claims on their organ trafficking scheme, several countries have already been taking actions against the super-power. You see some evidence in this film, and there is a lot more evidence outside of it,вЂќ he added. вЂњBut once I put aside the disbelief and objectively evaluated the evidence that was found by the two Davids, I was convinced that this was happening. It claimed that there was a concentration camp in a hospital in Northern China that was performing forced, un-consented surgeries on prisoners of conscience, and my initial reaction was disbelief,вЂќ said Lee in a video press conference after the screening of his film in Delhi. вЂњI first found out about the trade from a newspaper. This investigation is the very platform and inspiration for LeeвЂ™s film. The allegations against the Chinese regime spurred various international investigations, most prominent of which is the one conducted by Canadian Human Rights Lawyer, David Matas, and Canadian MP, David Kilgour. But, as stated in Human Harvest, the ratio of prisoners facing a death sentence to the quantity of available functioning organs did not add up. The Chinese government has consistently denied allegations on the organ trade, saying that the ample amount of organs have been acquired from executed, death-row inmates. In that same year, a record-breaking 20,000 transplants took place within the country. To put that in perspective, the United States waiting time for a kidney is over 3 years.' The world started to become aware of the issue in 2006, when global rumors began to spread claiming that live Falun Gong prisoners of conscience were the source of the overwhelming growth in available and functioning organs in China.

The scene with Noto continues 'They had hospitals advertising all over the internet that they could guarantee patients organs within the time frame of weeks, and they could even schedule them in advance. Damon Noto, a spokesman for the Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting organization, in a 2012 US Congressional hearing a scene from Lee's documentary. 'Chinese transplant centers went from 150 in 1999 to over 600 by early 2000, and according to the Chinese Vice Minister of Health, the number of transplants performed each year went from several hundred in 1999 to well over 10,000 a year by 2008,' said Dr. Furthermore, since 1999, the rate of organ transplantations in China began to severely increase - incidentally coinciding with the imprisonment of tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners. On July 20, 1999, Chinese authorities under former President Jiang Zemin, set out on a vendetta of mass detention and execution of Falun Gong practitioners within the country. This was perceived as a threat to the Chinese government.

The numbers of Falun Gong practitioners began to greatly increase in the 1990вЂ™s with the amount of its members outnumbering members in the Communist party. There is no political or religious affiliation within Falun Gong it is merely a combination of meditational exercise and practices of inner virtue. Falun Gong is a spiritual practice for the mind and body that focuses on three pillars of morality: truth, compassion, and forbearance. On Monday-the sixteen-year anniversary of the mass persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China-the Falun Dafa Association of India, provided a screening of Human Harvest, at Press Club in New Delhi, to raise awareness of the Chinese organ trade amongst the Indian public. The film focuses on Falun Gong (or Falun Dafa) practitioners, who are said to be the main victims of the organ harvesting trade carried out under the Chinese regime. This is the framework for the 2014 Peabody Award-winning documentary, Human Harvest, by Canadian filmmaker Leon Lee. Furthermore, since organs from live donors tend to have the highest success rates during transplantation, the thousands of victims of the trade in China are said to be alive and breathing while their organs are forcefully disembodied. Within the last decade, surgeries conducted on un-consenting prisoners of conscience have made China the second leading nation in organ transplants in the world. For the last sixteen years, a lucrative trade involving the harvesting of thousands of human organs has been transpiring under the Chinese Communist regime. NEW DELHI: Although, it may seem as if this material would come straight from the script of a horror movie, what you are about to read is no Hollywood phenomena.
