China's EU mission refutes 'organ harvesting' as fabrication of Falun Gong

The so-called "organ harvesting" is a fabrication of the Falun Gong cult, the Chinese mission to the European Union (EU) said on Thursday. "The allegations of the Chinese government harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners are sheer fabrications of the Falun Gong cult," said an unnamed spokesperson of the mission, responding to the European Parliament's resolution on the issue earlier in the day. "Not a single Falun Gong practitioner has been subject to forced organ transplantations. On the contrary, Falun Gong's deceptive and harmful teachings and the spiritual control of its practitioners have led to a large number of self mutilation and suicide," the spokesperson added. The spokesperson said that in 2006, many Chinese and foreign journalists and representatives of diplomatic missions in China joined an investigative tour and visited the alleged place for "organ harvesting." "The findings of the tour are telling proof that the claims of Falun Gong are complete lies," the spokesperson said, adding that Falun Gong is a cult in every sense and an anti-China political organization. "The European side should not be misled by its lies nor provide platform for its deceptive tricks," the spokesperson said.
