China is harvesting organs from Muslims and using them for transplants in a campaign of mass murder, investigators have claimed.



China Tribunal, a panel set up to investigate the barbaric practice, believes hundreds of thousands have been killed.



Organs including hearts, eyes, and lungs are reportedly being taken and put into other patients where no donors are available.



Group spokesman Hamid Sabi believes the main target is people who practise Falun Gong, a form of meditation that was banned in China 20 years ago.



However, Sabi argues Uighur Muslims are also being preyed upon.

China has already detained at least a million Uighur and other Muslim minority people in what have been termed “concentration camps”.

As proof of the practice, the group points to extremely short waiting times for organ transplants in Chinese hospitals.

It says it is “impossible that there were anything like sufficient "eligible donors" under the recently-formed voluntary donor scheme”.

Facilities and medical personnel have also appeared in areas where there are no voluntary schemes for organ donations, the group claims.

Sabi added: “Organ transplantation to save life is a scientific and social triumph. But killing the donor is criminal.

“Victim for victim and death for death, cutting out the hearts and other organs from living, blameless, harmless, peaceable people constitutes one of the worst mass atrocities of this century.”

Beijing has repeatedly denied accusations that it forcibly removes organs from prisoners, and apparently stopped using organs from executed prisoners in 2015.



However, the China Tribunal earlier ruled that prisoners were still being used.



Its chair, Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, said: “The conclusion shows that very many people have died indescribably hideous deaths for no reason.

“More may suffer in similar ways, and all of us live on a planet where extreme wickedness may be found in the power of those, for the time being, running a country with one of the oldest civilisations known to modern man.”

“There is no evidence of the practice having been stopped and the tribunal is satisfied that it is continuing.”
