An independent panel concluded in June that China's harvesting of Falun Gong members' organs amounts to crimes against humanity.

A senior lawyer in charge of an investigation into organ harvesting has urged the top United Nations human rights body to investigate evidence China is murdering members of the Falun Gong spiritual group and taking their organs for transplant.

Beijing has repeatedly denied accusations by human rights researchers and scholars that it forcibly takes organs from prisoners of conscience and said it stopped using organs from executed prisoners in 2015. "Victim for victim and death for death, cutting out the hearts and other organs from living, blameless, harmless, peaceable people constitutes one of the worst mass atrocities of this century," Sabi said.

Geoffrey Nice, the tribunal's chairman, told a separate UN event on the issue that governments, UN bodies and those involved with transplant surgery, could no longer turn a blind eye to the "inconvenient" evidence.Nice, who was lead prosecutor in the trial of former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic, said the tribunal's findings required immediate action.
