China
In 2006, allegations emerged that a large number of Falun Gong practitioners had been murdered to supply China's organ transplant industry. These allegations prompted an investigation by former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour and human rights lawyer David Matas. In August 2009, Manfred Nowak, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture said that "The Chinese government has yet to come clean and be transparent ... It remains to be seen how it could be possible that organ transplant surgeries in Chinese hospitals have risen massively since 1999, while there are never that many voluntary donors available."
