Danish Parliament Hearing Focuses on China's Forced Organ Harvesting

(Minghui.org) A hearing on forced organ harvesting in China was held in the Danish Parliament on December 8. Initiated by the Danish People's Party, the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Red-Green Alliance, and the Alternative, the two-hour hearing was open to the public and its video recording was also available on the internet.

“This Is Something We Cannot Ignore”

One of the initiators, Kenneth Kristensen Berth from the Danish People's Party, gave an opening speech. Using the example of Ms. Wei Zaiqun, a Danish resident whose two sisters were detained in China for practicing Falun Gong, Berth described the brutal persecution in China. These two sisters were not allowed to see their family and they have been subjected to blood sampling, a common practice suspected to be for the purpose of tissue matching and organ harvesting.

While pointing out that due to economic interests, very few countries dare challenge the Chinese communist regime, Berth said, “However, this involves basic humanity and it is something we cannot ignore.”


Kenneth Kristensen Berth from the Danish People's Party said the both the European Parliament and the U.S. House of Representatives have passed resolutions against forced organ harvesting in China.

As a historian, Berth also noted, “I can only compare this [forced organ harvesting in China] to the genocide committed by the Nazis.”
