【新唐人2012年12月08日讯】中国大陆器官移植背后的人权侵犯来源越来越引起国际社会的关注，在欧洲议会12月6日举行的中国人权听证会上，议员、欧盟官员、非政府组织代表以及专家学者讨论了中国器官移植和摘除背后的人权迫害，各界人士呼吁国际社会应对此采取更强硬立场。
按照国际惯例，器官移植的来源通常是个人捐献，在中国传统观念影响下，愿意捐献器官的人本该数量有限，然而中国大陆公布的器官移植案例数量却高得惊人。
欧盟对外事务部中国事务副主管乔治•坎宁安(Goerge Cunningham):“欧盟特别关注围绕着死刑和器官移植的统计数据的谜团，这也让外界无法确知，用于移植的器官来源，以及器官是否是从囚犯，特别是劳教所囚犯的身上摘取的。”
在外界质疑下，中共先是拒绝对此发表任何评论，后来在国际社会的压力下，承认这些器官来大部分自死刑犯，但这样的答案并不能让国际社会满意。
国际大赦中国问题研究员科琳娜•芭芭拉•弗朗西斯(Corinna-Barbara Francis):“首先，哪怕器官是从死刑犯身上摘取的，这已经是不道德的了，我们不相信在死亡线上等待的中国囚犯，能自由选择是否愿意捐献器官。”
然而，越来越多的证据却显示，器官的来源不光是将死之人，更存在从活人身上摘取器官的行径。
国际大赦中国问题研究员科琳娜•芭芭拉•弗朗西斯(Corinna-Barbara Francis): “有不少团体是这些器官的来源，法轮功是其中最主要来源之一。有很多事情提供了支持性的证据，证明活摘器官的事情曾经发生过，并且可能还在发生。”
曾获2010年诺贝尔和平奖提名的加拿大律师大卫．麦塔斯和加拿大前亚太司司长大卫．乔高，就此事进行了独立调查，并得出结论：活摘法轮功学员器官的事情是存在的，已有数千人因此被杀害。
加拿大律师大卫•麦塔斯：“法轮功是目前中国人权虐待最严重的的受害者，按道理讲，最严重受害者应该得到最多的关注，最优先被考虑。”
大卫•乔高先生曾在2009年12月的欧洲议会有关中国人权的听证会上，就中共系统性活摘法轮功学员器官的行为做报告。
欧洲议会副主席爱德华•麦克米兰斯考特(Edward McMillan-Scott)：“这是一个那么令人恐怖的指控，所以很多人选择不敢相信，我坚持认为人们应该相信，我们就是来支持这一点的，那就是这是一种群体灭绝的行径，而且正在中国发生。”
欧洲议会在2010年5月通过一项行动方案(action plan)，要求欧盟委员会就活体摘取法轮功器官及其他相关案例进行调查，并向欧洲议会和欧盟理事会提交报告。但两年多过去了，这份报告没有出台。
欧盟对外事务部中国事务副主管乔治•坎宁安(Goerge Cunningham): “欧盟已经在过去的几轮欧中人权对话中指出了摘取器官的问题。”
欧盟对外事务部表示，他们的做法是，告诉中共，注重法制和人权会给中国带来稳定和发展(stability and progress)。然而这样的举措，显然不能让在坐议员满意。
欧洲议会荷兰籍议员泰斯•比尔曼(thijs berman)：“如果你聼欧盟对外事务部刚才讲的，你认为他们的措施能是有效的，并且会给我们希望看到的结果吗？我们希望看到有效的措施来反对酷刑，有效的措施来反对随意关押，有效的措施来反对这种非法的器官买卖。”
中国民主人士期待国际社会能够联合起来，采取更有力的立场。
中国宪政民主运动领袖杨建利博士：“我觉得最重要的问题就是，直接打破这个迷思就认为国际社会会受到中国政府的惩罚如果是在人权问题上表示强硬的话。这个是没有证据的，所以呢，首先要打破这个迷思，打破这个恐惧。然后和中国政府打交道的时候能够表示出了很强硬的一种人权的态度。”
国际大赦也看到，这样做才是真正行之有效的方法。
国际大赦中国问题研究员科琳娜•芭芭拉•弗朗西斯(Corinna-Barbara Francis)：“我认为，公开的探讨以及在公开场合曝光这些事情，才真正能给中共施加压力。他们可能反弹很厉害,他们也真是这样，感觉被冒犯了，但是我们真的看到，这样做能起到效果。”
欧洲议会议员们表示，他们会持续努力，继续做他们应该做的。
欧洲议会立陶宛籍议员莱昂尼达斯(Donskis Leonidas)：“我们必须发出强有力的讯息，那就是（活摘器官）是无法接受的，欧盟在未来的几十年，甚至几个世纪都不可能接受这种事情，这种事越过了红线，所以我们不能够容忍这种事情发生。”
各界人士均要求国际社会采取更强硬措施，调查并制止活摘器官的行径。

European Parliament (EU) Hearing on Live Organ Harvesting
Human rights violations of organ transplant sources in China
are causing increasing concerns of the international community.
On Dec. 6, a hearing was held in the European Parliament on
China’s human rights.
EU Parliament members, officials, representatives of non-
governmental organizations, experts and scholars discussed
human rights abuses behind organ transplants and removal
in mainland China.
People from all walks of life called on the international
community to take a tougher stance.
In accordance with international practice, the source of
organ transplants usually is from personal donation.
Under the influence of the traditional Chinese concepts,
few are willing to donate organs.
However, in China, the announced number of
organ transplant cases is surprisingly high.
[George Cunningham, Deputy Head of China Division, EEAS]:
The European Union is particularly concerned the secrecy
which surround both death penalty and organ transplant statistics.
This makes it impossible to gain an accurate picture of the
source of transplanted organs.
It also makes it impossible to deal with the allegations that
many organs are harvested from prisoners.
In particular in prisoners in “re-education through labors camps”.
Facing skepticism from outside, the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) first refused to make any comment.
Later on under the pressure from the international community,
it admitted most of these organs came from death row inmates.
This answer is not good enough.
[Corinna-Barbara Francis, Researcher, Amnesty International]:
“First, even if they are taken from executed prisoners, this is unethical…
We do not believe that prisoners on death row in China have
any ability to freely choose to donate their organs.”
However, increasing amounts of evidence shows the source of
organs is not only the death row inmates, but also organ harvesting from living people.
[Corinna-Barbara Francis, Researcher, Amnesty International]:
“There are many groups that these organs may be taken from, the Falun Gong being one of the main groups.
There are many things that provide supporting evidence that
this may have occurred and may still be occurring.”
David Matas, the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize-nominated
Canadian lawyer and David Kilgour,
the former Canadian Secretary of State for
Asia-Pacific affairs independently investigated.
They concluded organ harvesting from living Falun Gong
practitioners exist, and thousands of them had been killed.
Matas: “Falun Gong are by far the number one victims of
human rights violations in China.
In principle, the worst victims need to give the most attention
(with) the highest priority."
Mr. David Kilgour reported on the systematic organ harvesting
from living Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP in a European
Parliament hearing on human rights status in China in Dec. 2009.
[Edward McMillan-Scott, VP of European parliament]:
“It is such a horrific proposition that many people choose not to believe it.
I insist they should, and we are here to sustain the belief that
this is genocide activity, and it’s taking place today in China.”
In May 2010, the European Parliament adopted an action plan.
They asked the European Commission to investigate live organ
harvesting on Falun Gong practitioners and other related cases.
Then submit a report to the European Parliament and
the Council of the European Union.
But more than two years have passed,
the report is not yet finished.
[George Cunningham, Deputy Head of China Division, EEAS]:
“The EU has already made this point (about organ transplantation)
in the past work around the EU-China Human rights dialogue.”
EU Foreign Affairs said that their practice is to tell the CCP by
focusing on the rule of law and human rights, it will bring stability and progress in China.
But such initiatives, however, apparently
can not let the EP members be satisfied.
[Thijs Berman, Dutch MEP]: “if you hear the EEAS speaking
just now, do you think that this approach is appropriate and
will bring the best results we would like to see?
We hope to see effective actions against torture,
arbitrary detention, and the illegal organ traffic.”
Democrats in China expect the international community
to unite and take a more forceful stance.
Chinese constitutional democratic movement leader,
Dr. Yang Jianli: “The most important issue is to break the myth that
the international community will be punished by the Chinese
government if they are tough on human rights issues.
This saying has no evidence. So first is to break this myth and
remove the fear.
When dealing with the Chinese government, show a very
hard-line attitude on human rights issues.”
Amnesty International also see it is a truly effective way.
[Corinna-Barbara Francis, Researcher, Amnesty International]:
“My sense is that, public discussion and exposing things in a
public forum is really what does push (the CCP).
They may react madly, and they did, they systematically feel
offended, but we do see that that takes effect.
European Parliament members said they will continue to
work hard, and do what they should do.”
[Leonidas, Lithuanian MEP]: “We have to send a very strong
message that this (live organ harvesting) is unacceptable.
The EU would not accept such a thing in the coming decades
or centuries. So we cannot tolerate this is happening.
People from all backgrounds asked the international community
to take tougher measures to investigate and suppress practices of live organ harvesting.
