From the article, "The Independent Tribunal into Forced Organ Harvesting from Prisoners of Conscience in China heard evidence in public in London on 8-10 December. A seven strong panel questioned 30 witnesses, including refugees from China, doctors, and investigators.". Clearly, solid and irrefutable conclusions on such a serious matter only need 3 days of hearing from 30 witnesses.

Making statements about immoral acts by the Chinese government is probably something that takes a little bit of secrecy, security and assurances in the modern era. I have to wonder if you understand the situation.

That seems plausible to me. They had evidence and witnesses, and don't seem to claim exhaustive knowledge of scope or every detail of implementation. Did it happen? Y/N ... three days, 30 witnesses, and evidence, to determine 1 bit of information. Y or N. We got Y. That does not seem far-fetched or necessarily slipshod.
