Organ Theft: Falun Gong

On this episode we discuss how the Chinese government launched a campaign in the late 90's to “eradicate” the spiritual group Falun Gong, then began imprisoning and torturing practitioners. When China’s transplant numbers increased dramatically, it became clear that the Falun Gong prisoners were being killed just so their organs could be harvested.To support Murder Dictionary & get access to rewards, perks, & merch, please visit our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/MurderDictionaryPodcastIf you’d like shirts, mugs, phone cases, & other merch, you can shop at https://murderdictionary.threadless.com/ Please rate, review, subscribe & follow us on Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter to stay updated on new episodes, true crime tidbits, inappropriate jokes about death, and ridiculous serial killer memes.We appreciate you telling your friends or family about us, & posting about the show on your social media!MURDER DICTIONARY LINKS:Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/murderdictionarypodcast/ Facebook : https://facebook.com/Murder-Dictionary-Podcast-1202280266480382/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/m_d_podcastiTunes : https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/murder-dictionary/id1169967004 Falun Gong LINKS:https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/28/world/asia/28china.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Yu_Zhou https://web.archive.org/web/20160223172904/http://www.nationalreview.com/sites/default/files/nordlinger_gutmann08-25-14.html https://www.humanharvestmovie.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_for_body_partshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_Chinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilgour%E2%80%93Matas_reporthttps://old.reddit.com/r/China/comments/i3raer/my_journey_out_of_falun_gong/https://www.healtheuropa.eu/forced-organ-harvesting-they-kill-innocent-people-for-their-organs/97306/https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2018/09/05/what-is-falun-gonghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gonghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Hongzhihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shen_Yun<a...
