New Report Confirms Live, Forced Organ Harvesting In China
February 01, 2007
There are several reasons Chinese citizens need intestinal fortitude to join the quasi-religious movement known as Falun Gong. One being the ruling Communist government's thought control imperative. Falun Gong adherents have long been subject to imprisonment, torture, and even execution for no greater an offense than their non-mainstream beliefs. One recent report is here, from no less a bunch of right-wing conspiracy-mongers than Amnesty International. But then, mysterious deaths of jailed state enemies in China are almost old hat now. However, for at least five years, according to an updated report released today in Canada, some have also been forced to sacrifice their internal organs for lucrative transplants for foreign patients in Chinese state hospitals. The Australian's Ottowa correspondents report this morning on the findings, from the new report by Canada's former Asia Pacific region Secretary of State David Kilgour, and human rights lawyer David Matas. Mr. Matas and Mr. Kilgour's second report, released today, includes interviews with organ recipients in 30 countries and Canadian hospital staff who cared for more than 100 patients who had undergone suspicious transplant surgeries in China. "The involvement of the People's Liberation Army in these transplants is widespread,'' Mr. Kilgour said at a press conference. Like many civilian hospitals in rural China, military hospitals turned to selling organs to make up for government funding cuts in the 1980s, the report said. But military personnel could operate with much more secrecy, it said. "Recipients often tell us that even when they receive transplants at civilian hospitals, those conducting the operation are military personnel,'' the report said. The Epoch Times has followed the matter closely, all along. It is a Web and print newspaper with bureaus in 30 countries, and is published in 17 languages, The paper highlights Chinese human rights issues. Last week, The Epoch Times summarized earlier reports that a Chinese health ministry spokesperson admitted to organ harvesting from executed Chinese prisoners, but denied any Falun Gong ties. That article also includes links to the original Kilgour/Matas report of July, 2006. An Epoch Times story today includes a link to the updated report. The paper also reported two weeks ago here that transplant surgeons attending a January symposium in swank Marco Island, Florida got an earful from protestors about Chinese organ harvesting from live and unwilling Falun Gong followers. I'd like to say all of this a big surprise to me, but it's not. Despite making important progress toward economic modernity and despite a slight easing of strictures against political dissent, the ruling Chinese communist regime continues to indulge in many fulsome violations of human rights. Such as Internet censorship (see here and here), denial of legal rights for plaintiffs against the government, property confiscation, use of hired thugs against reformers, and forced abortions. The Kilgour/Matas investigation of organ harvesting for transplant by Chinese authorities from unwilling live Falun Gong detainees adds even greater weight to ethical concerns around the plastinated Chinese corpses on display in Seattle, for which no documentation of permisssion for posthumous display exists. It seems even more likely now that they too may have been Falun Gong practitioners, or political prisoners of another stripe. TECHNORATI TAGS: CHINA, ORGAN HARVESTING, FALUN GONG> Posted by Matt Rosenberg at February 1, 2007 10:22 AM Comments:
Matt, Falun Gong propaganda David Kilgourâs promoting has been discredited by multiple undercover investigations. US government and Chinese dissident investigations: 1) http://www.usembassy.it/pdf/other/RL33437.pdf (section CRS-7) http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&y=2006&m=April&x=20060416141157uhyggep0.5443231&t=livefeeds/wf-latest.html 2) http://www.zonaeuropa.com/20060806_1.htm http://www.cicus.org/news/newsdetail.php?id=6492 3) http://crc.gov.my/clinicalTrial/documents/Proposal/TCM_Stroke%20TrialProtocol%20synopsis.pdf (page 3) As you can see, the hospital Falun Gong accused is partly owned by a Malaysian health care company and is subject to oversight beyond Chinese authority. And are you really suprised that Epoch Times is the one pumping this story? Epoch Times is a FLG propaganda outlet. The financial connection between Falun Gong and Epoch Times is not a secret. Here's the money trail found in non-profit declarations (Form 990, Page 2, Part III c): Southern USA Falun Dafa Association. $10,350 were given to Epoch Times in 2002, $22,700 in 2003, $14,750 in 2004: Falun Dafa Association of New England. $57,609 were spent on computer and print media, $97,755 in 2003, $116,823 in 2004: (These are but two examples of the hundreds of FLG non-profits in US.) Posted by: charles liu at February 1, 2007 03:11 PMI can assure that these links Charles Lui alias Bobby Fletcher alias alias has given are now out of date. Harry Wu stated what he said before the investigation began and he was also annoyed and worried that US congress would give the allotted funds to Falun Gong Investigation instead of his own. The CCp has admitted the organ harvesting is rampant from executed prisoners and they wont admit that they kill Falun Gong even though Amnesty has proved it. Also Id like to inform the readers of this blog that Bobby Fletcher is spy working for the United Front Works Dept which is at the heart of the Chinese intelligence agency. Here is some info on them and Bobby who also declares that Tiananmen Square Massacre did not happen. ..Bobby Fletcher is a spy It has brought to my attention a person calling himself Bobby Fletcher is posting comments to many blogs - I estimate over 100 trying to discredit the Kilgour/Matas report. I highly suspect Bobby Fletcher, who in one blog denies he is Chinese, is part of China's United Front Works Department, which is at the heart of China's intelligence operations, which I briefly describe below. I have just spent a couple of hours collecting his comments from the Bobby who refers to living in Seattle, also uses two other aliases I honestly got tired scanning 100 web sites, but I am sure researchers could find many more. Bobby needs to be exposed as he truly represents the deceptive tactics used by Communist China to spread disinformation. One only has to look at how tens of millions believed in Mao to know Incidentally you will notice that he also has a web site that the Highlights of the United Front Works Department The first words in Mao's Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This simple idea laid the foundation for the heart of China's Chinese United Front Works Department are usually involved in letter Again its a simple idea, but it works and once one becomes aware of Most of China's intelligence activities abroad are legal. That is why China's United Front strategy is based upon "co-opting whosoever can Falun Gong is clearly seen as an enemy by the Chinese communist regime which it has isolated since 1999.
Have journalists been co-opted? It would be naive to think otherwise. . I have spent many hours over many days trying to help Bobby /Charles to see the error of his ways/. Bobby even found my private email and began sending me propaganda about Falun Gong as Charles Lui from Seattle. There are 80,000 internet spies employed by the most repressive evil regime on the planet. Bobby is but one of them. Bobby where ever you go i will expose you. The brave people in China want freedom of thought and belief want their rich culture back. Not CCP terror culture... Universal condemnation is your future because of the choices you keep. This is not me condemning you Bobby but a higher justice that everyone must face after death. You are not the messenger Bobby but a vile creature working against humanity. The CCP has made becoming a better person a crime. Falun Gong practice truth compassion and tolerance and for that reason alone we are persecuted to death in the millions. The CCP is anti humanity and when the world knows the truth of the extent of this Genocide the world's people will weep.
I couldn't agree more Matt. As for Anon, even the Chinese government hasn't responded to the report yet. Why should I believe his twisted theory? It sounds like those China's apologists are back again. Every time this topic comes up, they're sure to be there spreading their misleading propaganda all over the blogs. Posted by: Makina at February 2, 2007 11:10 AMMakina, don't pretend you know Jana S. Just like you, Makina, Jana Shearer is a documented Falun Gong disciple and blogsphere operative: http://www.google.com/search?q=Jana+Shearer+Dafa Jana has been slandering me with the spy accusation. I have repeatedly denied the allegationa and challange her to produce the proof, to no avail. So much for these FLG disciple's notion of Truth Benevolence Forbearance. The latest revision/update of 7/2006 Kilgour report offered no new evidence. The documented cases of people going to China for transpland had no proof the organs came from FLG disciples. This while the original Kilgour report published back in 7/2006, in addition to being contradicted by multiple undercover investigations, the report was also reviewed and discredited by US congressional researchers. In "The Collateral of Suppression", a report critical of China written for Senator Dianne Feinstein, member of US Congressional Executive "Emma Ashburn, a research associate at the Congressional-Executive Committee on China (CECC), said that the Matas-Kilgour report really âoffered nothing newâ in terms of evidence on the matter of organ harvesting. The evidence they did collect, namely the phone calls and testimonies, were dubious in their objectivity. Specialist in Asian Affairs at the Congressional Research Service, Thomas Lum, noted that the evidence could have easily been distorted. The individuals calling the hospitals were all affiliated with FLG, and Lum said that it is unlikely for doctors and officials working for the state to casually divulge such sensitive and damaging information so easily. Moreover, Lumâs efforts to contact both the Chinese journalist and doctorâs wife have been fruitless, as FLG members direct all communications toward these individuals and they often do not respond. Harry Wu, a longtime political activist known for his hardline anti-PRC views, announced on August 9, 2006 that he would challenge the allegations made by FLG about targeted organ harvesting, especially the claim about the Sujiatun concentration camp. About the report, the South China Morning Post reports, âMr. Wu, who has spent 15 years gathering evidence on the harvesting of organs from executed Chinese prisoners, said the information was based on the testimony of two witnesses, neither of whom had first-hand information. He believed the reports were fabricated.â Wu had tried to follow up with the witnesses just as Lum hadâto the same futility. In the face of these criticisms, including from even Wu, who formerly held friendly relations with FLG, all things considered the allegations FLG has made about a targeted campaign of state-sponsored genocide are most likely untrue." Posted by: charles liu at February 2, 2007 10:41 PMHey Chuck! Who needs undercover reports when you can have official reports like 'Bloody Harvest' written by reputable statesmen. http://organharvestinvestigation.net The heavy Communist Military involvement in this conspiracy is a shock to some I bet. Would somebody tell Beijing to let in those research teams to complete their investigations? There's more to this story that the world is entitled to know. Although the gruesome evidence already collected is more than enough to call this a genocide. Do take a look at an excerpt from Transplant Connect that talks about that too. Military hospitals in China have benefited the most from organ trading. These hospitals have been providing organs and operations for the CCP leaders, and trying hard to attract Chinese patients from overseas. Before the Chinese government started persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, I went back to China several times and visited some friends in military hospitals such as the 301st Military Hospital, the 309th Military Hospital, and the Navy General Hospital. I noticed at that time how luxurious and well equipped each of these hospitals was. For example, some military hospitals in Guangzhou City and Chongqing City are equipped with rooftop helicopter pads. These hospitals could command military vehicles guarded with fully-armed soldiers. This is an open secret in China. An ex-transplant surgeon from China, now a western pathologist, described how he witnessed the organ harvesting of an executed prisoner. He told me that before the prisoner was shot, the surgeons, waiting to harvest his heart, painted a target on the prisoner's back to protect his heart. The prisoner was shot once in his right lung. He was then immediately carried into a waiting van where the doctors provided him with oxygen and blood transfusions to keep his heart "alive" before it was taken out. http://www.transplantconnect.com/news_detail.php?id=16 Posted by: Makina at February 3, 2007 03:45 PMBobby Fletcher/alias Charles Lui/alias Teresa Monroe Hamilton who I have been exposing as a spy working for the United Fronts Propaganda Department on all Blogs where he defends anything the Chinese communist regime does. He even has a blog which denies Tiananmen Square massacre happened. Please see his site at I ask the spy/informant why do you defend the communist regime?
So do we reckon Malaysian officials visited every room and underground facility in the hospital? Try calling the Malaysian Embassy for their reply. The latest Amnesty International annual report was recently published. Feel free to visit their website with regards to human rights atrocities committed by the Chinese communist regime. Table 1: AI Records of the Number of People Sentenced to Death/Executed in China each The unexplained 41,500 organ donors cannot be explained by executed prisoners, family donors or accident victims. So where do the 41,500 organs come from? Falun Gong practitioners provide the only plausible answer unfortunately. Call me a Falun Gong operative if that makes you feel good Bobby but I openly will tell you anything you need to know I"ll answer any of your questions even why i expose the Chinese communist regime for what they are. But why wont you answer me why you defend the Chinese communist regime? Posted by: Jana at February 5, 2007 01:53 AMMakina, you've banned me from your blog, so I know you are not interested in honest debate. Kilgour is a patsy, a compliant friend of the Falun Gong. He got involved at the behest and sponsorship of DC group CIPFG, the political arm of FLG. From the same Congressional Research Service article: "The authors hadconducted their investigation in response to a request by the Coalition to Investigatethe Persecution of the Falun Gong in China (CIPFG), a U.S.-based, non-profitorganization founded by the Falun Dafa Association " Posted by: charles liu at February 5, 2007 12:58 PMThere is nothing to debate Bobby. But if you must keep on doubting, and are willing to check other sources, then take a look at BBCâs undercover investigation, followed by posts from Harry Wuâs website. Organ sales âthrivingâ in China BBC- The sale of organs taken from executed prisoners appears to be thriving in China, an undercover investigation by the BBC has foundâŠ.One hospital said it could provide a liver at a cost of ÂŁ50,000 ($94,400), with the chief surgeon confirming an executed prisoner could be the donorâŠ.In April 2006, top British transplant surgeons condemned the practice as unacceptable and a breach of human rights. http://www.laogai.org/news/newsdetail.php?id=2658 and this âVideo: Sky TV goes under coverâ is precious http://en.epochtimes.com/news/6-4-26/40842.html âThis report verifies that: China officially admits executed prisoners are the basis of organ trafficking BEIJING â After years of denial, China has acknowledged that most of the human organs used in transplants here are taken from executed prisoners and that many of the recipients are foreigners who pay hefty sums to avoid a long wait. http://www.laogai.org/news/newsdetail.php?id=2704 Bobby, how exactly do you find out whether a spy is spy? Physically that is near on impossible which is why every intelligence agency has great difficulty with charging spies with espionage. We are not as easily fooled as the poor Chinese population so stop using the Where is your proof?? attack. You can say someone is working for some group by what he says and by what he defends. When the overwhelming proof of your blogs and citations appear all over any site that exposes /reports on the regime I think it s fair comment to say you work for them. I donât deny that Im a Falun Gong practitioner. Why do you defend the Chinese communist regime? If you are annoyed with FG okay but those aren't the only blogs you just criticize; you criticize anyone who exposes the truth about the Chinese communist regime. Itâs so obvious and ridiculous. You are only fooling a small minority. Iâd say now your job has become redundant, because the longer the CCP fights to maintain its control of the democratic seeking Chinese people the more irrational its mistakes are and then the more information that comes out of China will expose the real truth of this evil ridiculous regime . The world is waking up and more importantly the brave Chinese people are waking up. Your job has become been redundant. Anyway like i keep asking and you have never answered is WHY DO YOU DEFEND THE CHINESE communist regime? The BBC article made no mention or FLG or FLG's live organ harvesting allegation. Where's your Truth now? Posted by: charles liu at February 7, 2007 10:24 AMBobby you better quit the communist regime before the heavens destroy it and all those who support them. Otherwise I hope you like very hot places. Here read the 9 Commentaries and please register your vote today. Jana Shearer, again you fail to provide the proof that I'm a spy. Where's the "Truth" you proclaim? Calling people names when they disagree with you is the logic of 5 year olds. Jana Shearer, your false witness against me will put you in very hot places. I'll ask again, produce the proof that backs up your accusation against me. I am defending truth with facts. All the citations I provided are from US government/NGO sources, and they are in fact critical of China. Okay Okay then tell me why do you have gripe against Falun Gong? Why do have a gripe against anyone who criticizes the communist regime? Answer those questions and lets see where they lead us and the readers okay? Get away from the producing links and lets talk about you and me? You first please tell us your real gripes? Posted by: Jana at February 15, 2007 01:41 AMPost a comment
