The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) published a new investigation report on July 25, 2007 on organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners.
The entire text of the report into CCP organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in available online at the WOIPFG website.
WOIPFG announced in the report that it has made significant progress recently on the investigation of clandestine operations of harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners in China. The investigation further confirmed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have been harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China.
The primary targets of this systematic killing were Falun Gong practitioners, who were appealing for their rights and had refused to disclose their names when detained. The aforementioned crime reached its peak around the year 2003. Then, the operation was less covert than it is today.
This is an ongoing systematic crime that had been authorized, sanctioned and collaborated within the judicial system of the CCP. The military and armed police hospitals had been identified as major organ transplant institutions and sites where harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners take place.
During the investigation, representatives from WOIPFG had contacted an organ transplant broker from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Hospital No. 307. They had posed under the guise of assisting family members and friends to find suitable kidneys for transplantations. The liaison spanned over a few weeks and the total conversation time was several dozens of minutes.
WOIPFG has compiled a comprehensive record of the conversations and other forms of evidence. Interested organizations or individuals are encouraged to contact WOIPFG for further information. This report will be constantly updated as new evidence comes to light.
I. Organ Harvesting From Live Falun Gong Practitioners by the CCP Reached its Peak Around 2003 and Continues to This Day
[The following is a transcript of a phone call by a WOIPFG investigator to an organ transplant broker.]
WOIPFG Investigator: Hi, how are you? Last time I had spoken to you about contacting the kidney supply sources. How is it going?
Organ transplant broker: You meant that, contacting the prison, or "that something"?
WOIPFG: Yes, the source of Falun Gong practitioners, I meant.
Broker: Finding a way? I told you that I cannot search randomly for you. I have to look for it. To tell you the truth, all I am looking for is this type�
WOIPFG: Right now it is like this, as I have told you previously, as long as you can find this type, you can go ahead and help me check it out, whether�.
Broker: I told you before, didn't I? I told you before that we told you the truth , we had carried out two cases. You know, we had carried out two cases.
WOIPFG: You mean two operations involving Falun Gong practitioners as sources?
Broker: That's right, we had carried out 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.
WOIPFG: Alright, besides that, how could you be so sure he (the source) was a Falun Gong practitioner., Did you find out for sure?
Broker: How to positively identify a 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, we will guarantee that.
WOIPFG: Oh, that's fine.
Broker: They have all the information and data, even including individual resumes.
WOIPFG: Oh, so there were more cases around the year 2003?
Broker: Of course. There were lots of Falun Gong on file, around the year 2003.
WOIPFG: That was what I meant; it was much easier for you to get the organs for the operation at that time, right?
Broker: Ah, since 2003, I tell you the facts, I handled two cases in 2003, and I started in 2003.
II. The primary targets of this systematic killing were Falun Gong practitioners, who were appealing for their rights and had refused to disclose their names when detained.
WOIPFG: I heard from others that, several years ago, they arrested many Falun Gong practitioners who did not want to disclose their names after they were detained, quite a few, they detained them underground, the kind of place that was neither prison nor labor camp�
Broker: You are talking about what's going on around the 2003 time frame. I knew exactly what you were talking about. They did not reveal their names starting from 2003. From now on, Falun Gong is no longer an issue, they are pretty much all suppressed and are out of the picture now.
WOIPFG: Right.
Broker: Out of the picture meant it is already � extremely rare, extremely rare, you know.
WOIPFG: Right.
Broker: Very few. Now the source is in very tight supply, so if it is in tight supply, then you have to transfer, based on the 2003 files, you know.
Broker: Last time I made some inquiries by calling around � Falun Gong � Later I contacted that end by phone, I asked my boss to call him, and he said they needed to obtain from inside there.
WOIPFG: Oh.
Broker: Now they are all transferred to remotely located prisons, they need to get some from there, getting from there means the money, the money must be paid, mainly to people over there, you know.
WOIPFG: But I tell you, on the other hand, right now it is very stringent, and we should not ask too many questions. You know that several years ago, they secretly detained many Falun Gong practitioners who went to appeal but did not disclose their names. There were no records, no registrations.
Broker: Yes. Over here, like over here it is quite normal, you know. He �. did not � did not disclose his name. Let me tell you, even if he did not disclose his name, he would leave a code name, understand?
WOIPFG: Yes.
Broker: Such people who did not disclose their names all had code numbers. I know this better than you. They had code number 8, they had �... All had codes in the record file.
WOIPFG: Oh, so it is like this. If they only had the codes, they should also have the real names in the record. These should be in there, right?
Broker: If they could not find out the real names, they just assigned them code numbers, you know.
III. Around the Year 2003, it Was Semi-Public Knowledge That Falun Gong Practitioners' Organs Were Used for Transplantation, and Now It Had Become a Furtive Operation, Involving Money
WOIPFG: Where did it happen, the thing that you did before?
Broker: Ah, it was in Xicheng.
WOIPFG: Are you still looking for it?
Broker: Well, now �..
WOIPFG: I know. I understand. Can you tell me how much they want?
Broker: If you want to find it, according to my connection, it is not doable without several tens of thousands of yuan.
WOIPFG: Several tens of thousands of yuan? Give me a concrete number.
BROKER: It would cost 20 or 30 thousand yuan. The 20 or 30 thousand yuan is just to find a target. It is not to say that it will be simple and straightforward to match the organs �
WOIPFG: Right.
BROKER: You have to pay separately, understand?
WOIPFG: How much more do I need to pay?
BROKER: I am a broker and I am doing it because of our relationship. I figure the other end would demand 200,000 yuan, and I am only helping out because of our relationship. As far as what the other end would demand, well, it would be, � well, � I estimate it would be 200,000 yuan, you know?
WOIPFG: Yes.
BROKER: Let me tell you, our line of business has its own rules. I am not playing around with you on the phone. If there is such a thing, then there is such a thing. The risk on our side is pretty big. If you want it, I will do it for you. I also need to know you better before I can do it for you. You understand?
WOIPFG: Yes, that's right.
BROKER: You need to provide some identification so that I can totally trust you. Otherwise, regardless of how much money you pay me, I wouldn't dare do it for you. This is a high risk undertaking, understand?
WOIPFG: Yes, I understand.
BROKER: Our people made it clear, if we are not sure, we won't do it regardless of how much money is involved. That was what our boss said.
IV. Such Killing Took Place With the Cooperation and Under the Protection of CCP's Judiciary System
WOIPFG: Oh, OK. Just one more question.
BROKER: We� I tell you. To tell you the truth, what we have here all belongs to this type. We have connections with government officials. These are connections to high ranking officials. You know, I will show you such materials even if you don't ask me for it. You know.
WOIPFG: Oh, sure. Oh. You are saying that the policemen, the policemen over there�
BROKER: This� I cannot tell you anything about that.
WOIPFG: OK.
BROKER: I will not tell you too much about our business. Whatever is going on, high up on our side. There are rules for everything, you know.
WOIPFG: OK.
BROKER: I�I�I cannot, dare not say anything, you know.
WOIPFG: Yes. Can I meet him before the organ transplant?
BROKER: Sure, no problem with that�
WOIPFG: OK. Ah� There is one more thing that I don't quite understand. That is to say, these people are detained in forced labor camps or prisons. I know that they are usually in the police station �
BROKER: Right now, there are fewer in the forced labor camps.
WOIPFG: Really, where are they usually detained these days?
BROKER: Right now they are somewhere in the prisons. They are in prisons now. Usually, they were sent away from Beijing if they were arrested in Beijing. If they were arrested in other places, they would be detained in local prisons. Usually, they are sentenced to 10 years, 8 years or something like that. There are many such cases.
WOIPFG: Ah, so it's not detention centers nor labor camps, right?
BROKER: It is in detention centers, it is in detention centers. After some Falun Gong practitioners were sentenced, with some sentenced to more than 10 years, they would be transferred to other places for sure, you know.
WOIPFG: Ah.
BROKER: Right now it's impossible to leave it up to you. They cannot give you the material right at this moment, you know.
BROKER: After such a transaction is done, I tell you� It is not that I want to tell you something. Oh, some details such as the names of some people, I cannot tell you, you know.
WOIPFG: Yes.
BROKER: Like our boss, like the connections to the detention centers, I cannot tell you. This, when the time is right � you � Let me tell you in advance � making sure � You know, such as these names, I cannot tell you, you know � Such confidential information, I cannot tell you. Otherwise, we cannot do business in the future, you know.
WOIPFG: I understand what you said. I only want to ask you for two things. I need to know them. First I want to see this person. I want to know where he comes from. I want to make sure that he is really a Falun Gong practitioner. Another thing, the doctor who is going to harvest the kidney, I want to know if he really has the skills, and not just an ordinary policeman. It is not acceptable if the quality is not guaranteed.
BROKER: That's for sure. What you have requested I cannot take it casually. How can it be casual? We have the contacts. Since we are doing this business, we have people in every department. How can you get it done without connections?
WOIPFG: Yes. I am just�
BROKER: Such an operation is like a supply line, you know.
WOIPFG: Yes.
WOIPFG: That's right. Do you contact the detention centre directly, or you contact through the people in the police station?
BROKER: Are you asking me the contacts now? Are you asking how I reached them? Didn't I tell you? I cannot tell you about such things. Maybe I will say that I am in detention centers in Xicheng, Haidian, and Qinghe. I cannot give you the details. I cannot say. How can I say such a thing to you when I have not met you yet? That's impossible.
V. Military and Armed Police Hospitals are alleged to have participated in harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners.
WOIPFG: OK. Let's schedule an appointment. I will bring along 30, 000 yuan.
BROKER: You must come to my place initially. I will definitely not go to your place. If you come, I will arrange for my boss to check you out.
WOIPFG: Can you tell me how can I find you?
BROKER: Do you know where the No. 307 Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is?
WOIPFG: No problem. I can find it. Where specifically within the No. 307 Hospital?
BROKER: You don't need to go to the In-patient Department, just show up at the entrance of the hospital.
WOIPFG: OK.
BROKER: Do you know where the No. 307 Hospital is located?
WOIPFG: Yeah. Since we have never met before, we should have a contact sign.
BROKER: Don't worry about it. When you arrive at the hospital entrance, call me. I will be upstairs, so I can spot you. I can recognize you when you show up.
