Dr David Kilgour (a former Canadian MP with an international name on the issue of human rights abuse) and Mr David Matas (a Canadian Human Rights Lawyer) are exposing CCP’s heinous crime – organ harvesting from live fallungong practioners, Uyghurs, Tibetans, anti-CCP activists, by going around the world to tell people of what is happening in China. They published 'Blood Harvest Revised Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China' in 2007.
On November 2012, they visited Korea . They pre-booked Press Centre and pre-arranged meetings with Seoul Mayor - Park
Won-soon - and Chair Person of Health and Welfare Committee
(Oh Je-se of MinJu Party). Just before the seminar , however, both Park and Oh cancelled the meeting.
Dr Kilgour's group even asked for a meeting with the Transplantation
Society of Korea, but got flatly refused.
Where was Park Won-soon?
He was having a meeting with Jiang Yimou, a famous CCP propaganda film
maker.

A Sharp Criticism
Cast on Korea
“How come Korean
Pro-Human Rights Groups keep silent on the criminal acts committed by the
Chinese Communist Party ?”
Mr. Matas, a Canadian lawyer, accuses the CCP of illegally harvesting human organs.
“A Military Hospital operated by China ’s PLA is
depriving innocent people of their organs.”
At the 63rd special executive directors’ meeting of the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on the first last month,
Mr. CHOI Seok Young, Korean ambassador to the UNHCR in Geneva, was elected as
vice-chairman of the international body for one year term.
The UNHCR is an organization which helps refugees created by
local strife, political oppression and racial conflicts. A Korean government
official has now assumed the post of the vice-chairman of this UN body, but we are unaware of the injustices
the CCP is committing just as the Korean proverb goes, ‘등잔불 밑이 어둡다’ 'Underneath the oil lampbase is always dark (meaning we often do not know what is going on right in front of us.)
On the 2nd who is appealing to the world by
charging the CCO with ‘anti-human crime.
Mr David Kilgour, former state secretary of Canada, who
accompanied him as a team member was known to have left Korea already due to
his another schedule.
▲대만 등 해외언론들은 보시라이의 내연녀였던 아나운서 장웨이제가 임신했다는 사실이 알려지자 보시라이의 아내에게 암살당한 뒤 그 시신이 '인체의 신비전'에 쓰였다고 보도했다.
Mr Matas and his party insist that Korea should be
justly furious about ‘the illegal businesses of organ harvesting and selling organs’ which the
CCP has been running for more than 10 years.
Before meeting Mr Matas, I had a chance to have a talk with
some of his colleagues, who support him with the campaign. They said that the CCP has been managing this ’human traffic trade’
systematically, the typical one of which is ‘ Exhibition of Mysteries Human Bodies’.
The ‘Exhibitionn of Mysteries of Human Bodies’ has been held
in Korea
up to recently since 2002.
The ‘works’, which are alleged to have been made by Dr Gunther von Hagens through
a special treatment of the donated corpses, have been proved to be those of
people executed by the CCP, or those of religious believers
and anti-communists. .
Since then, each of many countries of the world has
prevented this Exhibition of Mysteries
of Human Bodies from being held in its own territory. On the
contrary, in Korea
the Mystery Exhibition is opened to the public even in the small county
district and the students are even asked to hand in their written descriptions
of impressions. Though the news has been recently spread in Korea that a Chinese female announcer, who had
an extramarital affair with Bo Xilai, was processed to be a model of a pregnant
woman in the Exhibition after been assassinated, Korea has showed no particular
responses.
This is the story delivered by the Lawyer Matas’ party.
“The CCP and its PLA insist
that the corpses used in the Exhibition of Mysteries of Human Body and in the
businesses of selling various internal organs are all those of the executed
criminals or the donated ones they have received. However, the number of those
executed in China
is around one thousand annually, while the number of those organs made available for transplant is more
than ten thousand per year. If so, where on earth do the nine thousand dealings
of human organ sale come from?
His party contend that the CCP and PLA arrested without discretion Falungong practitioners,
minority races such as Korean ethnics(Josenjok), Uyghurs, Tibetans as well as the dissidents, advocates of
democracy and confined them to the ‘factory of corpse’.
“As a result of contacting directly those hospitals all
around China and recording their responses to our inquiry, their answer is that
they can supply the needed internal organs within a week or two or three days.
The time includes the time needed to test the tissue of the patient expected to
receive the transplant, which means that they have at hand the resource of live
organs. That is the very prison. In China ,
there are hospitals and prisons operated by China ’s PLA. Not
only the criminals, but also the Falungong practitioners and the dissidents are
detained here.
They keep and manage all the bodily information of the
detained persons.”
We had been talking about various matters with each other,
when Mr Meitus came in. Mr Matas said that Mr Kilgour, former state secretary
of Canada ,
was on friendly terms with him. They came together to Korea in 2007
and 2009 and accused the CCP and PLA of
‘anti-human acts of crime’.
69-year-old Lawyer Matas is a Jewish. He is a specialist in
refugee-related law and was once professor of the Law School of Manitoba State
University. He is the author of the book, ‘State Organ’.
He has not been known well to the Koreans, but Lawyer Matas
and Mr Kilgour, former State Secretary of Canada, became joint winners of the
highest human right prize in Canada in 2009. They were also nominated as joint
candidates for Nobel Peace Prize in 2010.
When I asked him what it was that he could not understand in
his experience during his visit to Korea, he said that it includes the
one-sided cancellation of his international press conference at the Press
Centre, the withdrawal of an interview with Mayor of Seoul City, the
cancellation of the daily schedule with him of the chairman of Health and
Welfare Committee of the National Assembly and the silence of the Korean media.
“I was going to have a press conference at the Press Centre
on the actual conditions of the organ extraction in China at 11 am on the 1st
before. I was dumfounded at the unilateral revocation of the booking, but went
to the interview place only to find the door locked and fastened by iron
chains.
Since many reporters from various media were there to cover
the story, we eventually had an outdoor interview. I think
that the Red China’s Embassy might have influenced or applied pressure to the
host (through Korea ’s
high rank authorities). The press centre of all the countries should be a
stronghold to safeguard the justice and defend the freedom of the press. I
think it is a shameful thing.”
How it happens that his doings or activities were not
reported in any sort of Korea ’s
media despite of his three previous visits to Korea ? Mr Matas interpreted this
phenomenon from the view that CCP’s influence is too strong
in Korea .
“The abrupt cancellation of press conference yesterday and
the makeshift roadside press interview speak themselves more clearly than
anything else. The Korean leaders including the media seem to regard the
relations with Red China as very important. If the media of Korea is that
of a free democratic country, it should speak out about Red China’s
infringement on human rights. Only by doing this, we can stop China ’s
ant-human crimes. Korea ’s
media is unconcerned and indifferent.
Strictly speaking, this attitude of Korea ’s media
in fact can be construed as infringing the speech freedom of Korean people.”
“Of course, among the other countries, there are some which
have a close relationship with China .
However, the majority of them are indignant about it and perceive it an issue.
In case of Taiwan , they are
much concerned about China ’s
oppression of human rights and advocate strongly that they should prevent it.
They want to correct it. The majority of western states denounced Red China’s
infringement of human rights and its criminal acts.
On the other hand, Korea
appears to be hesitant to tell the ‘truth in responding to China . There
are quite a few Koreans who assert that Korea
had better be reticent and should not provoke China
in consideration of its long historical relationship with China .”
The other day Mr Matas party told me that Korea is not able
to say what it has to say to China because of China’s role of a lever to move
North Korea in case of Korea’s reunification. But they pointed out that China would
side with North Korean in the end, I speculated that his action of throwing ‘돌직구 a
fast stone’ directly at the crimes of CCP and its PLA would
be dangerous. Mr Matas revealed that he carries out the activities at his own
expenses. I asked him why he is going around the world to do what he is not
directly connected with.

“I am Jewish. When I came to know the truth of China ’s
enforced harvesting and sale of organs, I was reminded of the Holocaust during the WWII. I thereupon started my
investigation into it on a full scale.
From the beginning, I worked hard in the cause of protecting
refugees and preventing the infringement of human rights. While I was involved
in the activities of protecting refugees in Canada , I came to meet with some
Chinese escapees from China. They became my clients, through whom I came to
know that the Falungong followers had been sacrificed at the Communists’ hands
to be deprived of their organs. From
2006 on, I started to bring up the issue against the practice. It is my
life-long faith to devote myself to the cause of human rights.
If anyone were to make an issue of this kind of anti-human
crime in a country like China ,
he or she would be subject to harsh suppression. For this reason, people
outside China
should voice a protest against it. This is only the way to make a change.
Moreover, an international body like the UN, human rights groups and each government of countries
should be united in pointing out and denouncing China’s acts of suppressing
human rights. In this way the world can be changed.”
Mr Matas gave me a hint that prior to the change of China ’s
leadership, Bo Xilai, Wang Lijun and others had conspired a plot of treason. He
also mentioned the incident, in which Wang Lijun some time before had attempted
to seek political asylum in the US
consulate in Chongdu ,
China
Boxilai must have escaped carrying the ‘secrets of China ’s
leadership to avoid an execution when the ‘plot of treason’ was discovered,
which was an explanation given by Mr Matas. The secrets are said to contain
secret data of China ’s
organ harvesting, kidnapping of civilians and trade of human body. The USA and western nations, which obtained these
‘secrets’, are reportedly preparing a ‘counter-punch’ against China ’s
dictatorship regime.

If this assertion is true, the regime of CCP will suffer a serious blow. In case the Chinese people, who have not received
proper ‘civic education’, rise up, it will possibly develop into a state of
anarchy, still more an affair of bloodshed, which will certainly have an
enormous influence on the situations of Korean Peninsular, in particular on the
reunification of Korea. In such a case, what should Korea do? Mr Matas replied, “I am
not a predictor of politics.”
“I am a human right activist and a lawyer, not a
futurologist. What is important to me is not to predict the future, but to look
into and cope with the serious issues which are taking place now.
When I visited other countries, I felt a welcoming air.
Their response to my denunciation of China’s infringement of human rights
was good. They moved on to condemn China for the violation of human
rights and to erect relating laws. The government concerned set about its own
investigation.
On the other hand, when I worked in Korea , I could
not see such a move. But this time I feel things have changed a bit, which I
consider fortunate. I hope such a movement and response will increase and get
stronger.”
Mr Matas added, “It is just the beginning for Korea to extend
justice standing up against the evils.”
“For example, there have been many refugees in relation with
this in America ,
but it took 6 years to come to the present position. Recently, in the USA a
congressional hearing was held on Red China’s infringement of human rights. 106
representatives of the House of America lately motioned and carried the bill
for investigating into the factual truth of China ’s practice of organ
harvesting.
While USA
president, Obama, was on a campaigning tour, it was reported that he took a
petition letter written by a falungong practitioner personally, pushing aside
the bodyguard.
Our activity in Korea and the response of Koreans
may be just the beginning. We will work more in Korea . Koreans should courageously
stand up against the CCP’s brutalities.
“Justice is to guard human nature and dignity against the
evil powers.”
▲매이터스 변호사는 한국 고위층과 언론이 보여준 태도에 실망하면서도 "앞으로 조금씩 나아질 것"이라고 말했다.
Mr Matas and his party said, “We know Koreans are an
important customer of China ’s
transplant business of organs, but we met some Koreans whose remarks we can
hardly understand.”
Those Koreans we met, particularly high rank officials and
politicians usually gave responses like this, when we let them know about China ’s organ harvesting and trade of human body :
“China
is far from doing this. China
and Korea
have been a friendly ally for more than 2000 years.
Do you say China
is a threat? No. America is
a more possible threat to Korea .”
“I cannot believe you, because I didn’t see for myself what
you say China
did. China
has achieved an extraordinary growth to be G2 country in the world. You should
not slight China .
It is time for Korea to
consider China more
important than America .
Why do you address China
as Red China? We find it uneasy to use
it formally.“
Mr Matas and his party responded saying, “It is
understandable”.
“When we go around the world, we meet with all kinds of
strange things. The CCP is strenuously pouring excessive
amount of money into the circles of politics, finance, media, culture and art
through its own embassy in each country to make the public opinions favorable
to them.”
They speculated that the Chinese Embassy had done so in Korea . They
pointed out ‘the Chinese revolt’, which took place on 28th April 2008 (Jin Joo's note: a riot by 40,000 self-styled Chinese students in Seoul City
These Chinese expatriates have on their back the CCP and its PLA, who boast of the self-styled G2
status of China
and insist that even the west Pacific is now under their influence. Even though
the Chinese do the slave trade of North Korean defectors, or they do illegal
fishing in the Korean territorial waters, or ‘Oh Won Chun (Jin Joo's note: The media tried to make the heinous crime committed by OWC as trivial as possible) committed murder and
made a victim a hemiplegic in the course of a robbery, Koreans do not make a
fuss, just saying, “ Why, how they become important crime ?”
Our country (Korea ),
which is the primary sufferer of CCP’s atrocities, only shows helpless
responses. In addition, the left wing camp and part of pro-China conglomerates
try to silence the newspapers and other media and hundreds of thousands of the
Chinese residing in Korea
enter all kinds of comments and notices into the internet to make the truth
covered.
On coming out after having finished the interview with Mr
Matas, the idea occurring to me was “Is it still possible for Korea to stand up
against China for the cause of justice just as Korea did in the past during the
‘Struggle for Democracy’.
