Among its hard-hitting recommendations, the UN Committee Against Torture told the regime to arrange for an investigation into the organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners and for the prosecution of those responsible.
The Committee examined China's compliance with the Convention Against Torture, which China signed in 1988, and published its recommendations and observations on 21 November.
The recommendations state that the Chinese regime should:
“... immediately conduct or commission an independent investigation of the claims that some Falun Gong practitioners have been subjected to torture and used for organ transplants and take measures, as appropriate, to ensure that those responsible for such abuses are prosecuted and punished.”
The Committee also demands that the Chinese regime provide answer to questions about their re-education-through-labour system, the widespread use of torture, the “State secrets” law, harassment of defense lawyers, harassment and violence against human rights defenders and petitioners, lack of investigations, and data collection.
