The members of the China Tribunal were asked to consider evidence regarding forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China and to determine whether international crimes have been, and continue to be, committed. The Tribunal was chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice, QC. The China Tribunal found that forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China has been practised for a substantial period of time involving a very substantial number of victims. Importantly, the Tribunal concluded that crimes against humanity against Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghurs had been committed.
