  • Military Doctor Reveals Process of CCP's Organ Harvesting from Falun Gong Practitioners

     Note: The following contains internal information on the Chinese Communist Party's organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners using military means. The material is provided by an veteran military doctor from Shenyang City who had previously spoken out on the CCP's organ harvesting.

    Supplemental Information on the Organ Harvesting From Falun Gong Practitioners

    At the end of last month, I had spoke about the treatment of Falun Gong in Shenyang and some other regions of China. Here I would like to disclose more information to facilitate the international community to help stop this kind of activity.

    Currently, the greatest difficulty is gathering evidence of the organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners and other detained individuals. The lack of evidence prevents relevant overseas organizations from solving the problem.

    On the issue of gathering evidence, I can disclose an outline of the government's process that I had encountered, in the hopes that relevant organizations can learn tips from it. Due to safety reasons, I still cannot disclose the entire process. Here I will describe parts of the process.

    1. Forced means of organ harvesting

    Overall, there are two types of transplant sources: voluntary and involuntary. However, according to the government, all of the organ donors are voluntary. What does that mean? It means that Falun Gong practitioners and other detainees are detained using their real name, but when it comes to organ transplants, fake names are used. In other words, a false identity is created. However, all of this person's information is available, and a voluntary transplant organ donation form is signed (of course the signature is fake). I have encountered over 60,000 of these documents with falsified signatures. All of them say that the individual voluntarily agrees to an organ transplant and will be responsible for all of the consequences. Some of the forms are even for heart transplants. Many signatures are the same person's handwriting. These documents are kept for 18 months and must be destroyed at the end of 18 months. The documents are kept at the provincial-level military regions. Reviewing these documents would require permission from the CCP Central officials based in the local areas.

    One thing worth noting is that during the entire process of an organ transplant, if the transplant is not successful, the documents on the organ source and the body must be destroyed within 72 hours. All of the documents and the body (sometimes even a live person) must be cremated and the cremation certified by military management personnel. These military personnel have the right to arrest, detain, or execute any doctors, police, paramilitary police, or research staff who leak the secret to the outside. The military personnel have clearance from the CCP Military Commission.

    2. Organs obtained from live bodies

    Any person identified to be a source of an organ transplant is transferred from the prison, labor camp, detention center, or concentration camp. At this point, the person loses her name and is given a code, which corresponds to a false identity of a voluntary organ donor. The person is told that she will go through a physical examination. The exam is followed by local anesthesia, then organ transplant from the live body. Due to security reasons, details relating to the military management personnel are omitted.

    3. Why such a big discrepancy between publicly announced figures and reality?

    Many people pay a lot of attention to the transplant statistics announced by the government. Actually, "underground" organ transplants are many times that of the number publicized by the government. For example, if the government says that there are 30,000 cases a year, then the real number is about 110,000. There is an abundance of organ sources, and this is another reason why the prices for organ transplants have decreased.

    Many hospitals under the jurisdiction of the military, while reporting some transplants to the central government and the public, are actually conducting a large number of organ transplants in secret. The real number is much higher than government statistics. As I said before, in the eyes of these people [who are doing the operations], the people whose organs are being removed are no longer regarded human, but animals. When doing it for the first or second time, some of them feel shaky and nervous. But after thousands of operations, everything is changed. They become numb about extracting organs from live people and cremating live people.

    Everyone knows that China exports many products. But in China, there are also a large number of live people being exported. In other words, the Chinese people that meet certain physical criteria are exported overseas as products through a network. The organ transplants are done overseas, and the bodies of the transplant sources are also destroyed (Note: In many countries, there are Chinese-operated agencies that handle the bodies after organ transplant from live people; many Chinese embassies and consulates are also involved). China tops the world in exports related to live human bodies. For almost all of these people, there are falsified documents. I am not aware of the details. I know that more than 940 people were exported in 2005. There is actually a large global network of organ harvesting and transplants, and the transactions are centered in China. Since 2000, more than 85% of the world's organ transplants have been done in China. This number is from a document within the Military Commission. A few people were promoted to generals for "accomplishments" in this area.

    4. Monitoring and management system for evidences

    As I said before, the organ transplants are managed by the military. This system is far superior to the government agencies. Once something becomes classified information in the military, it is impossible to obtain any more information, as I'm sure everyone is aware of how the military system is operated. So we must shift some attention to many of the military facilities. Those are the true concentration camps.

    That's all I'll say at this point. I apologize that due to security reasons I cannot elaborate on the details.

    Persecution-Related Deaths of 14 More Practitioners Verified in March 2006

     Public channels of information in March 2006 have verified the torture deaths of 14 Falun Gong practitioners from Mainland China. Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) under Jiang's direction began persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, a total of 2,855 practitioners have been verified to have been tortured to death.

    The genocidal persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP and Jiang's regime has continued for close to seven years. The regime has brutally tortured Falun Gong practitioners to death and also imposed tight restrictions on information related to the persecution. The torture deaths reported publicly on Clearwisdom.net and verified through public channels are only the tip of the iceberg. Recent news of the atrocities in Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City revealed that the CCP has not only illegally detained a huge number of Falun Gong practitioners, but also reaped huge profits through the appalling practice of harvesting organs from live practitioners and disposing their bodies immediately. The contemptible brutality of this horrendous crime is reminiscent of the past atrocities of the Nazis.

    Among the 14 verified deaths from torture in March, seven of the practitioners died between January and March and three of them were persecuted to death in March 2006. Based on initial statistics, at least 30 Mainland China practitioners were persecuted to death between January and March 2006.

    The 14 deaths took place in eight provinces and municipalities: three cases each in Hubei and Sichuan Provinces, two each in Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces, one each in Hebei, Shandong, Hunan, and Jiangsu Provinces. Eight of them, or 57 percent, were women. Six of these practitioners were over 55 years of age, which accounts for 43 percent of the deaths. Four of them were over 70 years of age.

    Senior citizens brutally tortured, pass away

    Mr. Wang Zengren was from Gaodou Village, Yangjia Town in the Jingyang District of Deyang City. He had retired from the Mechanical Construction Company in Sichuan Province. Before practicing Falun Gong, he had heart disease, diabetes, and rectal cancer. Mr. Wang began to practice Falun Gong in 1997, and in two years, all his diseases disappeared without further treatment. He felt the happiness of being free of pain.

    After the persecution began, Mr. Wang was detained three times because he clarified the truth about Falun Gong. Police ransacked his home many times and confiscated two years' salary totaling 32,000 yuan. The director of the Jingyang District Police Department, Xiang Huaming, police officer Lin Dexi, Gaodou Village security officer Yu Yunshou, and others directly participated in making the illegal arrests and detentions. They ransacked Mr. Wang's home. They also seized him and his wife, Tian Xingqiong, and took them to the local police station. Mr. Wang and his wife were not allowed to sleep, and they were bitten by mosquitoes all night.

    On August 23, 2002, Mr. Wang Zengren was again arrested. This time it was because he took part in a Falun Gong group practice with 92 people. On September 25, 2002, he was deceived by Yangjia police chief Xiang Huaming into going to the Gongnong Village Police Station. He was illegally detained in the Deyang City Detention Center for nine months. Then he was sentenced to two years of forced labor. While Mr. Wang was detained in Deyang City Prison, the guards brutally tortured him. The following is what Wang Zengren said before his death: "On the morning of August 4, two guards told me to go to the health office at the gate. One of them, Cui, said I should stand by the window. He then told me to bend toward the windowsill. He wiped my head with an unknown drug and I fainted suddenly." Mr. Wang was injected with unknown drugs and was kept unconscious for over 10 days. He was incontinent, suffered anal erosion, his legs were swollen, and he could not walk. His head had two holes in it from the beatings he received. He passed away on January 29, 2006.

    Mr. Qi Laixing, 72 years old, was a practitioner from Jiaohe City, Jilin Province. He started to practice Falun Gong in 1996. At that time, he had many diseases. After practicing Falun Gong, he recovered from all of them. (/emh/articles/2006/3/18/70925.html)

    On October 2, 1999, Mr. Qi went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong. As a result, his property was confiscated and he was sent to a brainwashing center twice and fined several thousand yuan. Later on, he was sent to a forced labor camp for two years. During his imprisonment Mr. Qi suffered from all kinds of cruel torture. He was forced to sit on the cold concrete floor from 6:00 a.m. in the morning to 10:00 p.m. in the evening. He was not allowed to sleep. If he was found sleeping, they would put a bug in his ear or stab him with needles. There was no heat in the room. Because of the lack of food Mr. Qi was very weak. While in the prison, Mr. Qi was also forced to sleep on the floor next to the toilet and was not provided a blanket in the winter. Mr. Qi was tortured in an effort to extort a "confession" from him. He was exposed to extreme heat or forced to stand in the pouring rain until he passed out. The police used wooden sticks to beat him until he was bruised all over. Under the CCP's long-term persecution of both his body and spirit, Mr. Qi died on February 28, 2006.

    Retired teacher Ms. Zhu Dafeng was beaten to death by police; her young daughter, seeking justice, was threatened with dismissal from her job

    Ms. Zhu Dafeng, 60 years old, lived on Zhongnan Street in the Wuchang District of Wuhan City. She was a retired teacher. Her husband works at the Hubei Province Police Department, her younger daughter and son-in-law work in police stations, and her older daughter works in a prison. Ms. Zhu Dafeng had been actively clarifying the truth to people with her personal savings by mailing letters and other methods.

    On March 5, 2003, two Falun Gong banners appeared on the 10th Building of the Hubei Province Police Department compound. That same day, Ms. Zhu Dafeng and another practitioner (name unknown, an elderly lady) were arrested, detained for one month, and then forced to go through another month of brainwashing and torture.

    On March 1, 2006, Mr. Zhu's husband called the Zhongnan Street Police Station to report her. A group of policemen arrived. They carried Ms. Zhu downstairs and threw her into the police vehicle. Ms. Zhu resisted the illegal arrest and was beaten unconscious in the vehicle. She was directly sent to the Armed Police Hospital for emergency treatment. She was totally covered with bruises from her lower back down to her thighs. Her blood pressure was abnormal, and she died within five days. Her body was cremated. Ms. Zhu's younger daughter, who is a police officer, tried to seek justice over her mother's death but was threatened with dismissal from her job.

    Refusing to be "transformed," Ms. Zhu Yunfang was beaten to death by inmates at the instigation of police officer Zhang Xiaofang

    Police officer Zhang Xiaofang in the 7th Group of Nanmusi Women's Labor Camp in Zizhong City, Sichuan Province, is one of the CCP's "Ten Most Outstanding Youths in the Nation." Her false claim is: "If Falun Gong practitioners are not beating or cursing others, they are not 'transformed' completely." Zhang forced many practitioners to stand or squat for prolonged periods of time. She didn't allow practitioners to take showers, brush their teeth, or wash their hands. She instigated drug addicts to burn women practitioners' nipples, slap their faces, and pinch them. She also incited inmates to stuff practitioners' mouths with stinky socks. She didn't allow practitioners to go to the bathroom, and forced them relieve themselves in their beds or in their pants. Then she forced practitioners to take off their coats to wipe up the urine on the floor. She also spit in practitioners' food.

    Practitioner Ms. Zhu Yunfan, 50 years old, was detained in the 7th Group of Nanmusi Women's Labor Camp. Because she refused to give up her belief, she was brutally beaten in the bathroom by inmates instigated by Zhang Xiaofang. She was stepped on and kicked on her chest and stomach and was beaten to death.

    At 9:00 a.m. on April 26, 2006, Zhang Xiaofang instigated drug addicts Zhuang Xiaoling and Chen Lingyan to drag Ms. Zhu Yunfang to the third floor in the 7th Group's building to force feed her medicines. Around 11:00 a.m., four drug addicts, including Chen Lingyan and Zhuang Xiaoling, dragged Ms. Zhu Yunfang to the first floor from the third floor. With the encouragement of on-duty police officer Pan Rong, two inmates stomped on Ms. Zhu Yunfang's knees, pulled her into a bathroom, locked the door, and savagely beat her. Ms. Zhu Yunfang's screams and cries were heard for a long time.

    Young lecturer from Changzhou, Wu Dianhui, persecuted to death, leaving a five-year-old son

    Practitioner Mr. Wu Diahui, 34, was a young lecturer employed by Changzhou City Normal College in Jiangsu Province. In order to persecute him, his employer and city police locked him in a mental hospital, a tuberculosis hospital, and a labor camp. This severely damaged Mr. Wu's health, and he died of tuberculosis on February 11, 2006.

    Mr. Wu Dianhui earned his Master's Degree from Shanghai Eastern China Normal University. He was employed by Changzhou City Normal College in Jiangsu Province. On October 30, 1999, Mr. Wu was arrested along with his wife while they were resting in Tiananmen Square. They were brutally beaten in the police vehicle. Returning to Changzhou City, they were locked in a brainwashing center for 10 days. Mr. Wu was tortured by being forced to stand for three entire days by Cultural Security Officer Yao (in charge of the Campus Security of Colleges in Changzhou City) of the Changzhou City Police Department. Later, the Changzhou City Normal College forced the young couple to do physical labor instead of teaching, and took away their promised family housing.

    In early April 2000, Mr. Wu went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong and was detained in the Changzhou City Police Department. After he was released, his employer and personnel office employees from the Changzhou City Higher Education Committee broke into his rental house off campus.

    On May 1, 2001, local police secretly arrested Mr. Wu Dianhui on his way home from visiting his teachers and classmates in Shanghai. After more than 10 days, his family received a two-year forced labor sentencing statement. His son was only eight months old at the time.

    Mr. Wu was taken to the Jiangsu Province Dafengfangqiang Forced Labor Camp, where he was tortured with electric baton shocks, deprived of sleep for over one week, beaten by prisoners, locked in the small cell, and brutally force-fed, among other abuse.

    Mr. Wu was released on January 1, 2003. Due to severe injuries received in the forced labor camp, Mr. Wu did not recover from the tuberculosis he had contracted and became thinner and thinner. He was hospitalized twice and died on February 11, 2006, leaving his wife, his five-year-old son, and his aged parents.

    Cruel Persecution in Xindian Women's Labor Camp, Taiyuan City

     Xindian Women's Labor Camp in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, is a living hell where the police use numerous cruel methods to torture Falun Gong practitioners. The police do not allow those who persist in the practice to see their family members or make phone calls to them. The police do not allow practitioners to buy food at the commissary inside the labor camp, nor do they permit practitioners to participate in outdoor activities or to use the restroom. They deprive practitioners of sleep and force them to attend brainwashing sessions day and night.

    Jia Yuzhen, Ma Yueying, Li Runfang, and Jin Jing were persecuted and deprived of sleep for one to two months because they persisted in practicing Falun Gong. If the police found that one of them had closed her eyes at work, they would deduct points from the inspection scores of the prisoners who monitored them. (High inspection scores can reduce one's sentence at the labor camp.)

    The police often incited drug abusers to beat the practitioners, making their faces become swollen and leaving black-and-blue marks all over their bodies. Jin Jing was forced several times to wear nothing but thin underclothes in freezing weather because she cried out, "Falun Dafa is good!" One day, security guard Xu Wenjun had finished cleaning his leather shoes with a piece of cloth. He then forced this dirty cloth into the mouth of Jin Jing, who was wearing handcuffs at the time.

    Although Li Runfang has an artificial limb in place of her left leg, the police would cruelly persecute her all the same. They often forced her and the small-framed Ma Yueying to do filthy, heavy, and tiring work.

    Falun Gong practitioners who are currently held in the Xindian Women's Labor Camp are enduring the persecution in great pain every day. Officer Liu Zhongmei brazenly yelled to practitioners, "Our responsibility is to persecute you to death."

    Brief Information about Falun Gong Practitioners Persecuted in Xishui City, Hubei Province in 2005

     Recently, the police in Xishui City, Hubei Province colluded with some local ruffians and illegally arrested many practitioners. Several Falun Gong practitioners' whereabouts are still unclear.

    In early 2005, the authorities followed and monitored practitioners for several months. Later they arrested practitioner Mr. Fan, in his 60s, and practitioner Guo Chunliu from Guankou District. They forcibly sent Mr. Fan to the Wuhan City Brainwashing Class. Practitioner Fang Desan from Guankou District was forced to live in exile. On April 30, 2005, Fang Desan went to the No. 1 Middle School to see his son; however, the police arrested him and put him into the Wuhan City Brainwashing Class.

    At around 8:00 p.m. on June 9, 2005, over 20 policemen from the 610 Office of the Xishui City Police Department broke into practitioner Mr. Shi Sanchun's home with electronic batons. They arrested Mr. Shi with no warrant and beat his wife. His 15-year-old son was beaten down to the ground. The police handcuffed his wrists behind his back and beat him while trampling on his face.

    In September 2005, police officer Feng Aiguo brought a group of policemen to his hometown in Zhudian Township of Zhuwa Town to persecute practitioners. On September 4, they arrested practitioner Yao Wanglai. Practitioner Ms. Xiao Tianying, in her 60s, was forced to live in exile and her whereabouts are unclear.

    On September 13, policemen headed by Guo Jianli and Zhang Bailin arrested practitioner Sun Guxiang when she was buying some cooking oil in a market. Four days later, Ms. Sun was tortured nearly to death. She vomited blood and had blood in her stool.

    A truly inhuman thing happened when the police arrested practitioner Mr. Zhong Quier from Zhudian Township. A group of policemen attacked him and beat him unconscious on the ground. His mother, in her 70s, went out to protect her son; however, the police even beat the elderly mother so badly that she went into a coma. Afterwards, they put Mr. Zhong into a police car and left.

    On November 22, 2005, when practitioner Li Zhengwen, who had lived in exile over five years, was walking around Hedong Restaurant in Xishui City, the police found him and arrested him. On November 25, Mr. Li's 70-year-old mother found that her son was being held in Room 103 at the City Land Tax Hotel. Mr. Li's mother knocked on the door until her hands were black and blue. Policeman Hu Guanghua opened the door, shouted at her, pushed her to the ground, and then closed the door. Later, when the mother saw Mr. Li, he was being carried by two policemen. He had been tortured to disfigurement.

    At 5:00 p.m. on November 30, 2005, around 20 to 30 policemen surrounded practitioner Mr. Mao Jiequan's home in Xishui City and then arrested him.

    At around 12:00 midnight on November 30, 2005, practitioner Ms. Yang Shurong from the Sandian District was arrested. The police broke into her home and took her away. Though it was very cold outside, they did not allow Ms. Yang, who was only dressed in thin clothes, to wear her sweater.

    At 3:00 a.m. on December 1, 2005, a group of police broke into practitioner Ms. Nan Minjun's home and arrested her. During the arrest, they even beat up Ms. Nan's 10-year-old son.

    At 8:00 a.m. on December 1, 2005, a group of policemen illegally arrested practitioner Ms. Guo Yun on the street in broad daylight. The police took her away roughly and Ms. Guo lost one of her shoes. Those policemen packed her into a car and left. Ms. Guo's family was not notified. About 9 days later, her husband, who is not a practitioner, went to the police station and angrily condemned those police officers for their lack of humanity.

    Ms. He Maofen Persecuted Severely in Gaoqiao Town of Yishui County, Shandong Province

     [Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website, the Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net]

    Ms. He Maofen is about 60 years old. She began practicing Falun Gong in 1997. Her illnesses all vanished after she started the practice. Tragically, Jiang Zemin's regime started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. He Maofen persisted in cultivating Falun Gong.

    Because she clarified the truth about the persecution, Ms. He was brutally persecuted. She was illegally arrested, tortured, fined, and subjected to brainwashing. Her family members were also harassed.

    He Maofen was illegally arrested on November 10, 2004, when she clarified the truth in her town. Her home was then searched and she was sent to a detention center. The inhuman detention center authorities denied her food for nine days. Later, one of her relatives paid 5,000 yuan to the detention center. He Maofen was later released.

    On December 17, He Maofen was arrested again. The next day, she was sent to the Linyi Brainwashing Center. She was also arrested on March 30, 2005, for distributing truth clarifying materials. Recently, Ms. He has been in the Yishui Detention. Yishui District practitioner Zhou Chengfu has also been held at that detention center.

    11. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Mr. Jin Xueze Brutally Tortured and Sentenced to Ten Years of Imprisonment

    On February 27, 2003, Mr. Jin Xueze from Changchun City was illegally arrested. Police from the Changchun City Police Department colluded with police from Changchun City Chaoyang District Police Department to interrogate Mr. Jin using various methods of torture. They put Mr. Jin onto the Tiger Bench and used electric batons to shock his reproductive organs and other sensitive areas, causing Mr. Jin to lose control of his bodily functions. They also repeatedly used plastic bags to cover his face, leading Mr. Jin to lose consciousness. Furthermore, the police handcuffed Mr. Jin's hands to form the position "carrying a sword on his back." This torture method broke both of Mr. Jin Xueze's arms.
