China Denies Having Organ Transplantation Statistics Between 2000 and 2005
In a 2008 United Nations report, Asma Jahangir Jahangir, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, and Manfred Nowak, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, demanded that China explain the dramatic increase in organs used for transplantation from 2000 to 2005, and the mismatch between the high number of transplants and the relatively few known donor sources.

Shi Bingyi, Deputy Director of the Transplant Chapter of the Chinese Medical Association, said that over 90,000 transplant operations had taken place in China. Source: website of Health Journal March 2, 2006. ()
