Falun Gong Practitioners Systematically Murdered for Their Organs: Refuting the Chinese Regime's "Death Row" Explanation, Chapter XI
by Ouyang Fei, Sun Sixian, Lin Zhanxiang
(Clearwisdom.net) In 2006, The Epoch Times newspaper
broke a stunning story about what is undoubtedly one of the most
horrible atrocities to be committed by any government, not only in
modern times, but in all of recorded history. As documented in the
investigative report, "Bloody Harvest," by noted human rights
lawyer David Matas and former Canadian Secretary of State for the
Asia-Pacific region David Kilgour, there is overwhelming evidence
of the Chinese Communist regime's chilling role in systematically
murdering Falun Gong practitioners, harvesting their organs while
they are alive, and making huge profits from doing so. In response
to the international outcry, the Chinese regime has attempted to
explain away one of the main pieces of circumstantial evidence--the
meteoric rise in the number of organ transplantations in recent
years and the extremely short wait times in a culture notoriously
averse to organ donation--by stating that it has harvested organs
from executed criminals after their deaths. Faced with undeniable
evidence, it has attempted to escape culpability for a monstrous
atrocity by admitting to a lesser crime. In this report, we will
show evidence that directly contradicts this claim and lends
further credence to the serious charges leveled against the Chinese
regime.
XI. Additional evidence 1. Whistleblowers expose live organ harvesting On March 9, 2006, The Epoch Times published an interview
with a senior journalist with inside information, who revealed that
the CCP had set up a secret concentration camp in the Sujiatun
District of Shenyang City in northern Liaoning Province that
rivaled those of Nazi Germany. Held in the camp were thousands of
Falun Gong practitioners. [60] On March 17, 2006, The Epoch
Times reported an interview with a female witness who worked at
the Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese
and Western Medicine. She presented further evidence that the
concentration camp was located underground, beneath the hospital.
[61] When live organ harvesting took place, her husband at the
time, a chief surgeon, participated in removing corneas from living
Falun Gong practitioners. On March 31, a letter from a veteran
military doctor was published in The Epoch Times confirming
the existence of the underground concentration camp in Sujiatun
District, Shenyang City. [62] By then, the dark curtain over the
CCP's live organ harvesting atrocities had been lifted. 2. Recordings from telephone investigations Following the initial live organ harvesting reports, several
overseas organizations started to make telephone investigations.
Presenting themselves as people seeking consultations for their
relatives who might need organ transplantation surgeries, the
investigators called organ transplant sections in numerous
hospitals across China. They specifically asked whether the
hospitals were able to acquire organs from Falun Gong
practitioners. These investigations further validated the
allegations that Falun Gong practitioners were killed for their
organs. Lu Guoping of Nanning City Minzu Hospital, Guangxi Autonomous
Region acknowledged organs taken from Falun Gong
practitioners Independent investigators David Kilgour, Canada's former
Secretary of State for the Asia-Pacific region, and David Matas, an
award-winning international human rights attorney, published the
transcript of a telephone conversation with Lu Guoping, a surgeon
at the Nanning City Minzu Hospital in Guangxi Autonomous Region in
Bloody Harvest - Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of
Falun Gong Practitioners in China. During the conversation, Lu
acknowledged several times that Falun Gong practitioners were the
source of organ supplies. He said, "Some are from Falun Gong. Some
from families of patients." The following is an excerpt of the conversation between Lu and
an investigator: Investigator: Then did your classmate tell you that the [organ
transplantation] operations they performed were all [with organ
sources from] Falun Gong, is that right? Doctor Lu: Some are from Falun Gong. Some from families of
patients. Investigator: Oh. Then if I want to find this type for my child,
this type [of organ] from Falun Gong, do you think he can help me
find any? Doctor Lu: He definitely can find it for you. [....] Investigator: What you used before [organs from Falun Gong
practitioners], was it from detention center[s] or prison[s]?" Doctor Lu: From prisons. Investigator: From prisons? And it was from healthy Falun Gong
practitioners...? Doctor Lu: Correct. We could choose the good ones because we
assure the quality in our operations. Telephone recording:

307 Hospital brokered for kidneys from Falun Gong
Practitioners During the investigation, World Organization to Investigate the
Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) investigators contacted a broker
representative of the Chinese People's Liberation Army No. 307
Hospital in Beijing, in the name of helping family members and
friends to find suitable kidneys for their transplant requests. The
contact lasted for several weeks and the conversation time totaled
several dozen minutes. WOIPFG has compiled a complete record of the
conversations and other forms of evidence. If any interested
organizations or individuals need further information, please
contact WOIPFG. This report will be updated as new evidence becomes
available in the future. Excerpt of conversations: Investigator: then you go ahead and help me check it out,
whether.... PLA No. 307 Hospital Representative: I told you before, didn't
I? I told you before that we told you the real story, we have done
two cases. You know, we did two cases. Investigator: You mean two operations involving Falun Gong
practitioners as source? PLA No. 307 Hospital Representative: That's right, we did two
cases. The prison told us they did that with Falun Gong. I also
told that lady that we indeed performed such operations. Now,
however, it is getting more difficult than before. [....] Investigator: Where did you find the kidney sources before? PLA No. 307 Hospital Representative: From Xicheng District [in
Beijing]. [....] Investigator: Alright, besides it, how could you be so sure he
(the source) was a Falun Gong practitioner, did you find out for
sure? PLA No. 307 Hospital Representative: How to positively identify
as Falun Gong practitioner, well, when the time comes --- when the
time comes our side, our Boss will have people showing you
information, you know, he will show you the information and data,
you can be sure. Investigator: Oh, that's fine. Telephone recording:

Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, admitted that organs
were taken from Falun Gong practitioners On April 28, a Sound of Hope journalist made contact with
Li Honghui, director of the Kidney Transplant Department, Yuquan
Hospital, also known as No. 2 Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua
University. Li admitted that organs were taken from Falun Gong
practitioners. Excerpt of conversation: Li Honghui: It happened that for the past several years that
donor organs were from Falun Gong practitioners. Investigator: Do you mean that this type of donor was quite easy
to get several years ago? Li Honghui: That's true. Telephone recording:

including phone calls to the following hospitals with call

newspaper, reported that four men accused of pocketing millions of
dollars that patients had paid for organ transplants were arrested
in Israel. Yaron Izhak Yodukin, CEO of Medikt Ltd. and his
associates, faced charges of not reporting incomes earned by
mediating organ transplants for Israelis in China and the
Philippines. The arrests followed months of investigation after the
main suspect admitted to an Israeli newspaper that the organs were
coming from Chinese death row inmates and prisoners of conscience,
including Falun Gong practitioners. 4. Testimony from Falun Gong practitioners and other
inmates Many Falun Gong practitioners released from labor camps and
prisons recounted that they were taken for blood tests while in
custody. In July 2008, David Matas, co-author of Bloody
Harvest, located someone released from a prison in Jiangsu
Province, who is not a Falun Gong practitioner. Between March 2005
and early 2007, he was taken to 17 different prison cells. Inmates
who had been held several years in the cells told him that over the
course of 2002 and 2003, at least two or three Falun Gong
practitioners in each cell were killed for organs. A video
production, Between Life and Death, produced by New Tang
Dynasty Television, published the telephone interview with this
witness. [65] 5. Investigative report by David Matas and David
Kilgour David Kilgour and David Matas published the results of their
extensive investigation in their report, Bloody Harvest.
According to data in the public domain, the authors argued that the
source of 41,500 transplants for the six-year period of 2000 to
2005 is unexplained. When they first published their report in July
2006, they had gathered 18 elements of evidence to substantiate the
charges of the CCP's organ harvesting atrocities. When the revised
edition of the report was released at the end of January 2007, the
evidence had increased to 33 elements. The authors have traveled to
over 40 countries around the world to report the results of their
investigation, while continuing to gather new evidence. [66] Bloody Harvest: The book In November 2009, Seraphim Editions, a Canadian publisher
released a revised, book form of Bloody Harvest: The killing of
Falun Gong for their organs. This is the third edition of the
investigative report by Matas and Kilgour. It now lists 52
different elements of evidence. Mr. Kilgour pointed out that
although no element of evidence alone can prove the crime of live
organ harvesting, all of the evidence combined almost irrefutably
proves the allegations. References [60] The Epoch Times, "Exposing Shocking Horrors Inside
