Scholars refute Falungong's organ rumor

Experts from China and abroad have refuted claims made by the Falungong cult that the nation harvests organs from its practitioners.

Hong Fan, an associate professor at the People's Public Security University of China, said the accusation was based on erroneous information from the Falungong's Dajiyuan Times and clearwisdom.net based in Hong Kong.

"Such rumors are absurd and are aimed at defaming the Chinese government and inciting people who are unclear about the truth to support the Falungong," he said.
