China Organ Harvesting

That the Parliament notes that the China Tribunal, chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, released its full judgment on 1 March 2020; recognises that the Tribunal’s judgment is the first legal analysis of available information and evidence relating to forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience to determine the extent of criminality on the part of the state of the People’s Republic of China; understands that the Tribunal has found, after reviewing available evidence such as extraordinarily short waiting times promised by doctors for organs to become available for transplant, that there was documented torture of Falun Gong and Uyghurs and the impossibility of there being anything close to the number of "eligible donors", and that it is certain beyond reasonable doubt that forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience has been practised for an extended period of time and has involved a "very substantial number of victims"; notes the belief that, in line with the Tribunal’s judgment, there must be a strong international response to what it considers crimes against humanity and a possible genocide committed by China, and further notes the view that it is important that medical institutions and people, including those living within the Glasgow Shettleston constituency, are made aware of the findings of the Tribunal so that they do not unwittingly aid state sponsored organ harvesting.
