Falun Gong
Practitioners a Cheap Source of Black Market Organs
In recent years, international
organ buying and selling markets have had extreme shortages. As the world’s most
populous country with the death penalty, China is beginning to use lethal injections
so the executed person’s organs cannot be given to hospitals for organ transplants.
Since China’s illegal organ trade business has been internationally exposed,
the United States Congress has held numerous hearings. The international society
has requested that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) follow the “use of the dead
or executed persons’ organs” statute announced in 1990. The statute stipulates
that a criminal’s organs only be obtained if the person or his or her relatives
gave permission, or if the corpse is unclaimed.
Due to fewer channels for
obtaining human organs, the prices of organs have been high for long periods of
time. Since the CCP has ordered the 6-10 Office, a branch specially established
to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, to “kill Falun Gong practitioners and call
it suicide” and “to ruin their reputation, bankrupt them financially, and destroy
them physically,” the organs of Falun Gong practitioners who have been tortured
to death have become a source of cheap merchandise for this black market.
Doctors and Merchants Involved were Deceived
An insider told The Epoch
Times that the doctors and merchants involved in the purchases of Falun Gong practitioners’
organs were told that the organs were from Falun Gong practitioners who “developed
insanity from the practice and died” or “became evil after practicing and murdered
other people, and therefore were sentenced to death and shot by the authorities.”
Therefore, the involved parties never found a problem with it nor did they have
any moral criticisms about it. Since Sujiatun Concentration Camp sells the organs
at cheap prices, international organ buying and selling representatives try to
find ways to contact and make deals with Sujiatun. Overseas Chinese also contact
relatives in Shenyang City in hopes of buying a cheap kidney from Sujiatun Camp.
Some private hospital and health systems workers know that it is possible
to buy organs of Falun Gong practitioners from Sujiatun Concentration Camp, where
the human organs have no traces of lethal injections. An eyewitness claimed that
locals of Sujiatun District regard it [the organ buying] as taboo and are very
cautious. The average person there would not even raise the matter.
The
Stone Crematorium Often Emits White Smoke
Sujiatun Concentration Camp
is in a hidden place, surrounded by many trees. One eyewitness said, “Now, some
roads are blocked in Shenyang City and vehicles are not allowed to pass. There
are obstructions on the roads similar to those on the road to Sujiatun. The average
car has no way to get close to the camp. In order to avoid suspicion and trouble,
we rode in a truck that transported coal to get closer to the concentration camp.
We saw the camp crematorium emitting white smoke. No one was around the area and
the atmosphere was very scary. A local told me that every time they pass by, they
always see smoke emitting from the crematorium.”
Prisoners’ Corpses Immediately
Cremated after Organ Removal
In the past, international media exposed
the secret theft of human organs in China to the international society. The law-violating
Public Security Bureau, judges and doctors colluded to steal organs from the dead
for transplants and large profits.
organs of some Falun Gong practitioners who were tortured to death were excised.

attention. The photo is of Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yufeng, who was beaten
to death. (www.clearwisdom.net)
The Chinese criminals are often not permitted to contact their family so no one
will go to claim the body after the execution. This way, the organs can be removed
and the corpse quickly cremated. The CCP requests medical personnel involved to
secretly perform the operations, and their operation vehicles cannot have any
hospital logos. The doctors are also forbidden to wear their operating clothes
on the execution grounds. In addition, the security guards monitor their organ
removal surgeries and then cremate the body immediately after.
Sujiatun
Camp is Very Crowded, but Its Population Kept Secret
Currently, Shenyang
has many corpse factories and private hospitals purchasing human organs for resale
on the international market. The Sujiatun concentration camp has shifted more
than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners and gathered some doctors for the organ removal
surgery. In order to eliminate potential evidence, the bodies are cremated.
A person who worked at the concentration camp said the workload is ever-increasing.
The authorities are continually transferring Falun Gong practitioners there and
the jail is crowded and full beyond imagination. It is clearly a place a person
cannot live in or withstand to see.
Before this disclosure, German anatomist
Gunther von Hagens shocked the world with his Body Worlds exhibition, which displayed
many plastinated cadavers, and encountered intense condemnation from human rights
groups. The media exposed that many of von Hagens’ plastified human bodies were
executed prisoners from China. Gunther von Hagens also admitted to receiving a
corpse with a bullet wound in the head.
China is currently has the largest
organ trade of any country. Functional organs are sold to hospitals or patients,
and the useable bodies were given to Gunther von Hagens and the Institute of Plastination
for conversion into preserved specimens and used in the touring Body Worlds
exhibition.
Bin, a 44-year old Falun Gong practitioner from Heilongjiang Province was mercilessly
beaten to death by policemen Feng Xi and others at Daqing Men’s Labor Camp on
September 24, 2000. Afterwards, his heart and brain were removed, and the remains
were placed in the morgue of Daqing People’s Hospital. The photo is of Wang Bin’s
scarred body. (www.clearwisdom.net)
Dead Falun Gong Practitioners’
Organs “Missing”
During the middle of last June, according to a report
provided by practitioners of Falun Gong, organs of Falun Gong practitioners who
were tortured to death during their imprisonment were stolen for transplant.
According to a related people’s investigation, blood holes and knife scars were
found on some Falun Gong practitioners’ bodies that were tortured to death. Some
were autopsied without their family members’ permission and some victims’ organs
were excised. Informants revealed that doctors of the Drug Rehabilitation Centre
in Baiyun District, Guangzhou City openly “directed” thugs who torture Falun Gong
practitioners, “Don’t beat them [at the] waist, the kidneys can be used.”
On February 16, 2001, Ren Pengwu (male, 33 years old), Falun Gong practitioner
in Harbin, was arrested for sending materials exposing inconsistencies of the
self-immolation case. He was imprisoned at the Second Detention Center in Hulan
County, Heilongjiang Province. After five days, on the morning of February 21,
he died. Without his family members’ agreement, under the guise of legal appraisal,
the police excised all Ren Pengwu’s body organs, from gullet to genitals, and
then illegally cremated the body.
Yang Ruiyu, female, was originally an employee
of Taijiang District Property Management Bureau in Fuzhou City. On July 19, 2001,
she was abducted from her work place by public security staff. She died three
days later due to abuse while in custody. The body was sent under police escort
all the way to a crematorium. Yang Ruiyu’s husband and daughter were not allowed
to approach the body. According to witnesses, there was a hollow hole about the
size of a fist on Yang Ruiyu’s body.
The Falun Gong Clearwisdom website has
urgently made a call to the international community to pay close attention to
the case of Chinese Falun Gong practitioners’ organs being stolen. It also called
on relatives of victims and people committed to justice to keep records of all
evidence of individuals and organizations involved in the crime for the purpose
of future lawsuits.
