Swedish Journalist, Donald BostrÖm, who published the organ harvest article, accusing Israel of illegal removing the organs of Palestinians killed by the Israel army, stated during a Wednesday evening press conference in Algeria, that Israel illegally harvested body parts of more than 1000 Palestinians.

Bostrom was speaking at an event organized by the National Federation of Algerian Journalists. He stated that Israel started the illegal harvest of organs since 1960, and that the illegal conduct was escalated during the first Palestinian Intifada of 1987.

He also said that Israel did not only harvest Palestinian organs, but also organs of fighters from other countries who were killed in Palestine of near the borders.

Bostrom once again defended his report and said that it was based on testimonies on actualities.

He further said that he received several death threats over phone and via email.

His original report was published by the Aftonbladet Swedish newspaper, on August 17, 2009; it was titled 'they stole our children's organs'.

The investigation into the organs theft issue was launched after a UN group in Gaza protested the illegal and inhumane handling of the bodies of Palestinians killed by the Israeli forces.

Bostrom said that he is working with Algerian authorities to print additional copies of his book entitled "Inshallah" (God Willing), which was published in 2001.

His report caused tension between Israel and Sweden, and several Israeli leaders and officials demanded an official apology. Sweden said that the report was published because the country believes in the Freedom of Press.
