The persecution of the [[Falun Gong]] [[spiritual practice]] began with campaigns initiated in 1999 by the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) to eliminate Falun Gong in China. It is characterised by multifaceted propaganda campaign, a program of enforced ideological conversion and re-education, and a variety of extralegal coercive measures such as arbitrary arrests, [[forced labor]], and [[physical torture]], sometimes resulting in death.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.refworld.org/docid/3b83b6e00.html |title=China: The crackdown on Falun Gong and other so-called "heretical organizations"|date=23 March 2000|publisher=Amnesty International|access-date=17 March 2010}}</ref><br/>
There have being reports of organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Several researchers—most notably Canadian human rights lawyer [[David Matas]], former parliamentarian [[David Kilgour]], and investigative journalist [[Ethan Gutmann]]—estimate that tens of thousands of Falun Gong [[prisoners of conscience]] have been killed to supply a lucrative trade in human organs and cadavers.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bloody Harvest: Revised Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China | author1= David Matas | author2= David Kilgour | author1-link= David Matas | author2-link= David Kilgour | date= 31 January 2007 |url=https://organharvestinvestigation.net/|access-date=2023-01-02}}</ref>
