An independent tribunal sitting in London has concluded that the killing of detainees in China for organ transplants is continuing, and victims include imprisoned followers of the Falun Gong movement.
The China Tribunal, chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, who was a prosecutor at the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said in a unanimous determination at the end of its hearings it was certain that Falun Gong as a source - probably the principal source - of organs for forced organ harvesting.
The conclusion shows that very many people have died indescribably hideous deaths for no reason, that more may suffer in similar ways and that all of us live on a planet where extreme wickedness may be found in the power of those, for the time being, running a country with one of the oldest civilisations known to modern man.
He added: There is no evidence of the practice having been stopped and the tribunal is satisfied that it is continuing.
The tribunal has been taking evidence from medical experts, human rights investigators and others.

"the conclusion shows" violates a basic rule of due process, concerning conclusory findings. The one anecdote that goes into any detail, is circumstantial and supports a speculative argument. There is no evidence of the practice having been stopped, but neither is there evidence in the forensic sense of the word of the practice having been started in this article.
This is not to say the events in question haven't or don't occur, only that this article fails to present any evidence.
