(Clearwisdom.net) The atrocities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners in labor camps and prisons for sale and cremating their remains to destroy the evidence were recently exposed. To destroy evidence of this horrific practice, the CCP is transferring practitioners in a hurry to labor camps and prisons and is cremating their bodies to destroy the evidence.

Based on inside sources, organ transplantation centers in China have been asked to look for business from foreigners. "There is no such shop after passing by this village," meaning, there won't be another opportunity like this again. If the organs of Falun Gong practitioners are not used, they will be disposed of soon.

Practitioner Ms. Yi said that her friend received a call from China recently. Over the phone, he was told that a kidney source has been located and paired for him and he needs to go to Guangzhou to have the kidney transplantation surgery within one week. Her friend told Ms. Yi, "I received the call on Tuesday (April 4) unexpectedly. I was asked to leave before April 10."

Based on other inside information, many foreigners went to Tianjin No. 1 Hospital to have liver and kidney transplants done at the end of March. The operations were conducted at night. The operating department is located on the 11^th and 12^th floors of the hospital. The monitoring department is located on the 6^th floor. The ward is located on the 4^th and 7^th floors. The insiders said they don't know where so many donors of livers and kidneys came from and wondered whether this relates to the practitioners imprisoned in Sujiatun Concentration Camp. Immediate investigation is urged to avoid the CCP's killing practitioners to destroy witnesses. The patients receiving organ transplants stayed in several hotels in Tianjin.

Foreign patients have to wait for several years for organs in their home country. But they can get organ transplants in China so quickly that they find it hard to believe.

Asian Times reported on April 4 about Japanese patients going to China for organ transplants. The report stated that recently many Japanese patients, whose cases looked hopeless in Japan, got organ transplants quickly in China. One organ transplantation center in Shenyang claims in its website that it can find suitable organs for patients within one week.

The article stated that it is questionable how these Chinese hospitals can have such a large pool of donor sources. The article discussed the CCP's well-known practice of removing organs from death-row prisoners, but they are not the main source of the organs. Chairman of Japan Transplant Recipients Organization, Suzuki visited a hospital in a "major city" in China, which had conducted 2,000 organ transplants last year alone. However, Amnesty International estimates that the CCP executed 3,400 prisoners in one year.

The article gave an example. When 62-year-old Hokamura Kenichiro's kidneys failed, he waited more than four years for a new kidney. As a native of Japan, where less than 10 kidney transplants are performed a year, the 62-year-old businessman was desperate. He tried to go online to check out rumors of organs for sale.

He was astonished by just how easy it was. Ten days after contacting a Japanese broker in China in February, he was lying on an operating table in a Shanghai hospital receiving a new kidney. A doctor had only examined him that morning. "It was so fast I was scared," he said.

The article stated that Hokamura is just one of several hundreds of Japanese patients going to China for organ transplants recently.
