New Charges of Chinese Persecution Of Falun Gong

Austrian law professor Manfred Nowak, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, is looking into new charges of persecution of the Falun Gong by the government of China. Reuters reported last week on allegations that up to 6,000 people were being held at a state-run concentration camp in the northern city of Shenyang. It is claimed that some of the prisoners have been killed and their organs or tissues sold.
