Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor

QUESTION: Because I just wonder if you specifically talk about the organ harvesting, because we know, earlier this year, Wang Lijun, police chief, he went to the U.S. consulate in Chengdu, and so there’s evidence he’s deeply involved in the crimes like organ harvesting. So I’m wondering if he provided any useful material to the U.S. Government on that aspect, and so -- 

ASSISTANT SECRETARY POSNER: There’s no – we have plenty of our own information from our own Embassy and our own reporting, and we’ve relied on that for the discussions. 

●美国州议员布拉德·谢尔曼：为获取器官而对65000人执行死刑的想象相当生动

布拉德·谢尔曼

2013年12月初，对于美国国会众议院外交事务委员会下属一委员会通过的一项谴责中国器官采摘决议案，加州民主党众议院议员布拉德·谢尔曼先生明确表示反对，他要求同僚们拿出支持指控中国的证据。布拉德·谢尔曼认为，为获取他们的器官而对65000人执行死刑的想象相当生动，建议通过咨询这一领域的其他专家，让这一数字更有说服力。[2]

Lawmakers diverge on Chinese organ harvesting 

By Julian Pecquet  

Lawmakers diverged Wednesday over how far to take their criticism of China's alleged organ harvesting practices. 

A House Foreign Affairs subcommittee unanimously approved a resolution condemning the practice. But Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) asked to work with his colleagues to shore up evidence of a controversial claim that China may have executed 65,000 members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement to harvest their organs between 2000 and 2008. 

“I think we need to reach out to Amnesty International and other mainline, respected human-rights groups to see if we can really support this rather specific” claim, Sherman said. “The vision of 65,000 people being executed solely for their organs is a rather vivid image and we may want to be less specific, less numerical or more certain that the number is defendable by consulting with other experts in the field.” 

Claims of organ harvesting of live Falun Gong practitioners were first put forward by former Canadian politician David Kilgour and human rights lawyer David Matas in 2006. Researcher Ethan Gutmann placed the number at around 65,000 in testimony before the committee last year. 

The Chinese government denies the allegations, and the State Department has said it has seen no evidence to corroborate them.
