"The Chinese government has yet to come clean and be transparent. It remains to be seen how it could be possible that organ transplant surgeries in Chinese hospitals have risen massively since 1999, while there are never that many voluntary donors available. [The allegations of organ harvesting from Falun Gong prisoners] were denied, but the Chinese government has not invalidated them."

-- Manfred Nowak, U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture in August 2009 media interview, three years after U.N. experts communicated concerns over allegations of organ harvesting to the Chinese authorities.

"Our conclusion is that there has been and continues today to be large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners. ... Their vital organs, including kidneys, livers, corneas and hearts, were seized involuntarily for sale at high prices."

-- International human rights lawyer David Matas and former high-ranking Canadian official David Kilgour in the introduction to their 2009 book Bloody Harvest: The Killing of Falun Gong for Their Organs

"I would like to further point out that expert testimony given before a subcommittee on the Foreign Affairs Committee appears to corroborate the charges of coercive organ transplants in China. … The stark reality which this resolution addresses gives new meaning to the phrase 'butchers of Beijing.'"

"The genocidal strategy … comprised a broad range of actions arranged in total contempt for life and human dignity. The designated purpose - the eradication of Falun Gong - was used to justify any means used. Therefore, torment, torture, disappearances, deaths, brainwashing, psychological torture were everyday occurrences in the persecution of its practitioners."

-- Argentine judge Octavio Araoz de Lamadrid

"... If any of the defendants sets foot in a country with which Spain has an extradition treaty, INTERPOL must detain and transport the defendant to Spain to stand trial for the atrocities committed."
