China Executes Dissidents to Sell Organs

Washington Times. Most prominently the Falun Gong:

Falun Gong is a highly visible Buddhist revival movement that had spread across class and educational lines throughout the 1990s. The Chinese government has banned it since 1999, denouncing it as a "dangerous cult."

Founded in China in 1992 by Li Hongzhi, who now lives in the United States, it grew dramatically in only a few years. Its philosophies incorporate ideas from Buddhism and Taoism and include slow-motion meditative exercises on the principles of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.

The Chinese government accuses the group of "undermining social stability". The White House has "no clear policy" on the Falun Gong.

Gee, what a surprise. Well, you know they are a religious group.
