CIPFG Investigation Reveals that the Chinese Communist Party Continues to Harvest Organs from Living Falun Gong Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) When the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atrocities of
organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners were exposed to the public
in March 2006, the news drew a great deal of attention from the international
community. Although the CCP authorities repeatedly denied and covered up their
crimes, under international pressure the CCP announced a regulation limiting its
human organ trade. However, more and more evidence shows that the forced labor
camps and prisons in China have colluded with the hospitals--especially the
CCP's military hospitals--to harvest and sell Falun Gong practitioners' organs
under the protection and co-operation of the military, police, CCP officials and
other government organizations. The atrocities of organ harvesting from living
Falun Gong practitioners still exist throughout China. The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) recently
publicized the voice recordings of its investigation of the Beijing Military
Hospital, Jingzhou Court of Hebei Province, Guangxi Nationality Hospital, etc.
The recordings clearly show that the Chinese Communist Party is continuing its
crimes of harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. CIPFG Investigation Record of Organ Harvesting from Live Falun Gong
Practitioners in Mainland China. Dear friends, When you hear about a group of people having their chests cut open, and their
hearts, kidneys, livers and cornea harvested, simply because they refused to give up their spiritual beliefs, you may have
difficulty believing it is real. But this really is happening in China now. And
all of these crimes are being conducted in military hospitals, armed police
hospitals and local hospitals under the cooperation and protection of China's
judicial system. Please read the following transcript recorded by the CIPFG:
I. An audio recording of a phone call with a contact person of PLA No. 307
Hospital in Beijing regarding the source of kidneys for transplant: (PLA:
People's Liberation Army) (A: CIPFG Investigator; B: Organ broker representative) B: Hello. A: Hi, How are you doing, Chen? B: How are you? A: Are you Chen Qiang? B: Yes, this is he. What can I do for you? A: How are you? We have talked about contacting the kidney supply. Is there
any progress? B: You mean contacting prisons or "that"? A: Yes. About getting kidneys from Falun Gong practitioners. B: I heard it is becoming very difficult. Do you know what I mean? A: Is that so? B: I can get a kidney for you [from a Falun Gong practitioner], but let me be
frank. It's going to cost you because I have to work through my connections. A: Money is not a problem. B: I cannot have my connections work for nothing. For example, my connection
in Chaoyang, Xicheng, Haidian, etc. I cannot work for nothing, either. A: Yes, I will pay for it. But what's the situation now? I heard that if we
can find a kidney from a Falun Gong practitioner... B: Let me tell you something. Who will give you a kidney without seeing money
first? These days these people will not do anything until they see the money.
It's impossible. In prisons, we have obtained organs from Falun Gong
practitioners. I have talked to a Big Sister before. I have worked with her
before, but now it is getting difficult [to obtain organs from Falun Gong
practitioners.] A: Where did you get organs from Falun Gong practitioners? B: Well, from Xicheng. A: Xicheng. What about now? The other thing is-- how can I be sure the kidney
is really from a Falun Gong practitioner? How do you ascertain that? B: How do I make sure the organ came from a Falun Gong practitioner? When the
time comes, my boss will show you the information. Do you know what I mean? He
will provide you with the documentation. Rest assured. We work with government
officials. They have connections in high places. Do you know what I mean? You
don't have to remind me. I will show you the documentation to prove it. Do you
know what I mean? A: Okay. Well, there is one more thing I don't quite understand about these
people [Falun Gong practitioners]. Are they imprisoned in forced labor camps or
prisons. Normally they should be imprisoned in police stations... B: They are rarely imprisoned in forced labor camps these days. A: Is that so? Then where are Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned these days? B: Nowadays they are kept in prisons. Prisons. Generally speaking, Falun Gong
practitioners imprisoned in Beijing will be "distributed" to other
cities [as organ sources]. A: I heard that a few years ago a lot of imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners
who refused to give their names were kept underground. They were not kept in
prisons or forced labor camps. B: What you are talking about is the Falun Gong practitioners back in 2003. I
know exactly what you are talking about. Those Falun Gong practitioners who
refused to give their names were back in 2003. These days not many Falun Gong
practitioners do that. ["That" implies appealing to the State Appeals
Office in Beijing.] Therefore, we will have to find a match from our 2003
database [of Falun Gong practitioners]. Do you understand? A: Oh, there are a lot of Falun Gong practitioners "available" from
2003. Is that it? B: Yes. We have lots and lots of Falun Gong practitioners arrested in 2003 in
our database. A: You see. I have no problem with the first 50,000 yuan. I am
willing to give you 20,000 yuan more so that you know I really mean it. But you
will have to give me an estimate of the rest of the cost so that I can rest
assured regarding how much more I will be paying. B: The cost, you know... Well, I am working with my connections. As for the
specific costs, well, I am estimating 20,000 yuan at a minimum. Do you
understand? A: I see. B: Falun Gong practitioners' organs. Later I made a phone call to my boss. My
boss called his connection. He told me that he had to find one from
"there." A: I see. B: Nowadays they [Falun Gong practitioners on our organ database] have been
transferred to prisons outside of Beijing, so we will have to transfer the
selected practitioner from the prison out-of-town. A transfer means that we will
have to pay most of the fee to the connections in that prison. Do you know what
I mean? A: I see. You know that a few years ago Falun Gong practitioners appealing
for Falun Gong didn't give their names, so they were imprisoned secretly. They
were not registered by their name. B: Yes, it is fairly common. You see. Those Falun Gong practitioners who
didn't leave their names, let me tell you, are identified by number. Do you
understand? A: Yes. B: If you cannot find a Falun Gong practitioner's real name, you can only
record him by number. Do you understand? A: Oh. B: Handprint is another unique identifier. You see? This is the way it goes
these days. A: Right. B: Let me tell you something. After this is done, I must not tell you the
names of people involved or any details. Do you understand? These days no one
can get it done without any connection, especially something like this. Do you
understand? A: Right. B: Take my direct connection as an example. I cannot tell you my connections
at the police stations. I must not be careless about this. It won't do if I am
careless. We all have connections. Since I am in this business, I have
connections in all the involved departments. No one can do this without any
connection. A: Indeed. I am contacting you precisely because... B: This business is an established channel, you know. A: Right. ************** 2. Transcript of an investigative phone call to Court 1 at the People's High Court in
Jingzhou City Q: Hello, is this Court 1 at the People's High Court in Jingzhou City? A: Yes. Q: I know that since 2001, we have been getting kidneys from young, healthy
Falun Gong practitioners from courts and detention centers. The source of these
kidneys seems to have reduced deliveries now. I wonder whether your contacts at
your court can still provide such sources? A:. That depends on the conditions of your unit. We need to discuss this with
our leader. If your unit's condition is good we may still be able to do that.
Let's look at your situation and then I will report it to our chief. He will
then contact you if necessary. 3. Transcript of an investigative phone call to the Kidney Transplant Department at the Guangxi
National Hospital Q: As far as I know, your hospital is among the better ones for transplant
operations. Can you get organs from Falun Gong practitioners? If yes, can I
come. Can you get it? A: Let me tell you that we can not get organs directly. It is not easy in
Guangxi. If you would like it fast, I suggest you go to Guangzhou where the
organs are easy to get. They have nationwide sources. They can get a kidney for
you when they do liver transplants. It's very easy for them to get organs. So,
many places that have trouble getting organs can get some from them. Yes, yes,
it is the Zhongshan University No.3 Affiliated Hospital. Q: At the Zhongshan University No.3 Affiliated Hospital, what is the name of
the doctor? A: Miao Bing. Q: Why can he get one so easily but you can't? A: They have a bigger name. They use the university's name to contact courts. Q: Do they also use Falun Gong practitioners for organ sources? A: Yes, yes. They do quite a few every week. They have done so many and they
have connections with the system. Q: Oh, connections with the system? A: Because many hospitals can perform the transplant. Q: I see. So they can find the source? Where do they usually get it? Local or
other places? A: They have offices all over the country. They have a special group of
people who only work on that. Q: I see. They all look for organs from Falun Gong practitioners? Those who
are very healthy? A: Yes, yes. Q: For those organs you used in the past, were they from detention centers or
prisons? A: From prisons. Q: From prisons? They were all from healthy Falun Gong practitioners? Healthy
Falun Gong practitioners? A: Yes, yes. Of course, they would only choose good ones. We have to pay
attention to quality. Q: You mean you need to choose? A: Yes, yes. Q: Do you think they can find a Falun Gong "donor" for me? A: If you go there, it should be no problem at all. Q: They can do it? A: I am telling you, it's extremely easy for them. Q: Easy? A: They perform seven or eight liver transplants per week. They could supply
a dozen kidneys for transplants. They do several dozen per month. Finding organs
is no problem for them. Q: Oh, I mean, I would like to find a Falun Gong organ source for my child.
You think they can do it? A: Sure. I told you that not every hospital can get it. You need connections.
Whoever has the better connections is the one who gets it. Q: Which means we should go through the court directly, and not through the
forced labor camps or detention centers? A: Yes, yes. It doesn't depend on our hospital. Q: So I need to give them money, don't I? A: Correct. You need to bribe them. It can't be gotten for nothing. Q: For those Falun Gong donors, are they usually male or female? A: Both. They will choose one based on your test and match them. Q: I know. How old are they? A: Usually around 30. Q: Around 30. So you (doctors) go to prisons and choose them by yourself? A: Yes, yes. We certainly will choose them. Q: What if the person you choose refuses to let you test him? A: He will certainly let us make the test. Q: How? A: We have policemen present, but what are you afraid of? You don't have to
worry about that. They have a system which works. Q: Will the chosen person know his organs will be taken? A: They don't know. Q: They don't? You don't let him know, otherwise he will refuse to get
tested, right? A: Yes. But you don't need to worry about all of that. *********************** The cruelty of what has been described above has far exceeded even that of
the Nazis, and it is happening today in communist ruled China. Don't think that
this is only an isolated case. In the beginning of the persecution of Falun
Gong, Jiang Zemin had already ordered personnel from the 610 Office
to start the campaign of genocide against Falun Gong practitioners, and his
instructions were to "ruin [practitioners'] reputations, bankrupt
[practitioners] financially, and destroy [practitioners] physically." Jiang
also ordered: "Count it as suicide if beaten to death." In August, police from Israel arrested four people who were illegally trading
organs. They admitted that the source of the
organs was an illegal trade in China. This news
was published in newspapers in Israel. Canadian international human rights
lawyer David Matas and former Canadian Secretary of State (Asia Pacific) David
Kilgour have provided their investigation reports which conclude that organ
harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP has taken place and is still
continuing today. |
