(Clearwisdom.net) Professor Chen Yan-ling mentioned the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit when attending a Yunlin County press conference. After learning this, County Supervisor Su Chih-fen signed a document to support the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) and hoped that everyone would support activities protesting the persecution.

Chen Yan-ling said, "The purpose of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong is to unite all righteous forces globally, to conduct independent investigations in China and overseas into the CCP's harvesting of body organs from living Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in concentration camps, prisons, labor camps, detention centers, brainwashing centers, mental hospitals and hospitals, to end the brutal persecution."

Chen Yan-ling proposed an investigation into the situation that there are many patients in Yunlin going to mainland China for liver and kidney transplants. One patient died on the operating table in July 2005 when he went to China for a liver transplant. Supervisor Su was shocked and asked the secretary to call the director of the Department of Public Health to investigate the case.

Director Lin Guo-yi of the Luoyang Culture and Teaching Foundation said that his nephew went twice to China for kidney transplants. Both times failed. A local resident with a surname of Li said his friend went to China for a kidney transplant. His friend was clear-minded after being injected with anesthesia and felt uneasy later in his heart since he saw that a bloody kidney was taken out from a donor lying near him. The whole operation lasted 3 minutes.

In China, the number of organ transplants has increased tremendously since 1999. For example, only 78 liver transplants were conducted from 1991 to 1998. The number of liver transplants in 2005 was 20 times more than the total of the eight years. It is well known that the CCP initiated the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999. The increase in organ transplants is consistent with the escalation of the persecution. Doctors and nurses in many hospitals in China have also confessed that organs are from Falun Gong practitioners, young and healthy living donors.
