According to a report released by the Voice of Germany on November 9, 2012, Johannes Pflug, head of the German-Chinese Parliamentary Group, recently said in an interview by a journalist for SWR that the accusation about that China executed political offenders to harvest their organs was a groundless rumor

Johannes Pflug said, “I think that was a groundless rumor. I had heard such rumors a few years ago. We had carried out corresponding investigations through our intelligence agencies. Our intelligence staff told me that we had not found evidence confirming such things despite the repeated emergence of such reports. I can be more specific to say that most of such rumors were spread by Falun Gong, but the rumors were entirely groundless.”
