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.
The organs of some Falun Gong practitioners who were tortured to death were excised. Mysterious holes in blood vessels and cuts on the remains have attracted serious attention. The photo is of Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yufeng, who was beaten to death. (www.clearwisdom.net)

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.
Wang 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.
Unfortunately.
CHINA (China Aid Association)
The first trial of the 17 top leaders from a Chinese religious group ended March 3rd, after three-and-a-half days. Inhumane torture, including sexual abuse, was revealed by some defendants during the court trial. CAA learned from a government source that only one relative of each of the 17 defendants was allowed to attend the hearing. One defendant, Mr. Xu, immediately revoked his so-called "confession papers" as soon as the court finished reading the prosecutors interrogation records. He said the listed confessions were signed under enormous torture, when "I would rather die than live." He was hung in the air for five hours after sleep deprivation for five days and nights. Some self-claimed "torture experts" tied his fingers, toes and genitals with wire and then connected the wire to electricity. One defendant was hung in the air with a very thick blanket and then electrified after he got extremely wet. Mr. Xu's daughter, Ms. Xu Baiyin, described her father as "calm and peaceful." "In his final remark, he urged everyone in the court to believe in Jesus; otherwise, they will one day face eternal judgments in heaven. He also urged his children to continue to follow Christ without fear." Government sources have said Xu and at least three co-defendants will be sentenced to death.
Give thanks to God for these faithful followers of Jesus who are trusting in His power to sustain them. Pray that as Christians around the world petition the Chinese government and lift these believers in fervent prayer, God will have mercy on them, not only sparing their lives, but also releasing them from further prison time. Pray their witness of calm peace will move the hearts of all who watched them during this trial and authorities will come to know the One who is seeking them before it is too late.
They'd sell your Mother's liver!
I read a novel built on this issue. Trashy book, about adopting Chinese babies and selling human organs and the Chinese authorities all in on it. That last was the only believable part.
This horror exists. Relatives of these people are here on Taiwan trying to raise awareness of these state sponsored crimes.
By the way, nice to see you again. It has been a while. I have been away on and off, too.:)
"I've seen falun gong practitioners doing their chi gong in both the U.S. and Taiwan and it didn't look real threatening honestly - mostly just a bunch of middle age and older women (and some men) doing slow moving exercises."
The fear exhibited by the government has nothing to do with any perceived physical threat of people becoming good at a possibly martial art. The government fear is of people associating because when people associate, they talk, they complain and sometimes they make plans. I lived in VN for a while and even now with the US/VN war far in the past, there is a party member on every block keeping track of that piece of territory and looking for subversive elements. The paranoia is part and parcel of the failed concept of communism - the same thing no doubt exists in Iran and Syria also. This is also the reason for the fear of religion seen under communism.
Extremely disturbing.
When a country sells its citizens organs.
People in the U.S. simply have a hard time acknowledging true evil.
A sure sign that the rot of liberalism is truly widespread...
Holocaust, deja vu.
Ping!

It's important to remember they make cheap shoes. Never let human right's violations get in the way of trade.
not the former but the later
Yes; the busiest port on the west coast, Long Beach, and both ends of the Panama Cannal.
The CCP acts against the Falun Gong not because it has any actual degree of huge success, in its application, but because it has so many millions of Chinese people who practice it and believe in it; which sets up an alternative allegiance in the minds of the CCP and for them the people cannot believe in anything, ANYTHING, as deserving of greater allegiance than the CCP.
Keep everyone in China in our prayers everyday.

This appears to be an ongoing story; if just a small part of it is true, that is bad enough, I came across it myself.
The Epoch Times must be the newspaper of the Falun Gong; but in one of the stories, the writer states he/she is not a member of the Falun Gong.
I could be mistaken, but think it is fair to call it a dissident "expatriot" newspaper...and hence strongly associated with one of the largest indigenous persecuted groups in China. They likely have a wide range of dissidents...but, consistent with the proportion of dissidents overall, manifesting a preponderance of the issues of Falun Gong folks.
I'm trying to remember when Deng Xiopeng instigated the mass persecutions against Falun Gong. The scuttlebutt was that the head of Falun Gong had 10,000 of his followers rendezvous at, and surrounded, Deng Xiouping's summer home in the hills west of Beijing. Deng went out to take stroll on "his" property....and was given the shock of his life.
E.g., Scared the bejeebers out of Deng. Concluded that with that kind of organizational "pull" they were a potential political threat to the Regime. They had to go. Root and branch. War to the death in other words.
