(Minghui.org) Editor's note: Falun Gong practitioners have been collecting leads to assist international investigations that aim to expose the full scale of organ harvesting atrocities in China. A key fact that led to the confirmation of illicit organ harvesting is the short wait time for matched organs. This points to the existence of a live organ bank and killing-on-demand of prisoners of conscience.
