Grade A Class III Hospital Illegally Transplanted Organs with Demand Exceeding Donation

Mainland media recently published a few news articles related to organ transplantion, for example, "Detailed Exposure of the Largest Case of Selling Kidneys: A Grade A Class III Hospital Turns into Transplantion Factory". Another article, "China Will Conduct a Serious Investigation into Illegal Trading in Human Organs" or "Chinese Organ Donation Far Less than Demand" and so on. After these articles were put together, analysts found many secrets about the "Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) human organ harvesting from living people" which has been reported by overseas media.

Mainland media reported on the 22nd that the largest human organ trading case in China to date, involves 51 kidneys and more than 10.34 million in illicit money. Transplant recipients who had to pay around 80,000 to 100,000 yuan (US$ 13,000 to 16,000 ) for hospitalization, medicine, surgery fees etc. In addition to being shocked by the high profits of organ transplantation, the public noticed more that in this case, the direct surgery doctor happens to be chief of the urology department of a Beijing hospital. This hospital has the qualification of Grade A Class III.

The so-called "A III Hospitals" is the "Grade A Class III hospitals" for short. Mainland hospitals are divided into three grades and nine classes, "A III" is equivalent to the highest level of the hospital. At the end of 2012, there were only 35 hospitals with Grade A Class III qualification in Beijing.

Mainland media also widely reported a message on the 18th that the authorities would conduct a serious investigation of illegal trading in human organs. An article published on Xinhua Network states: from 2010 to last year, after three years’ of a pilot implementation of the so-called "voluntary organ donation system after a citizen’s death" ran until the 14th August. A total of 2107 voluntary organ donors who donated organs reached 5,787. Caixin Network reports that about 300,000 people every year in China need organ transplants, but "only about 10 thousand people can truly have the opportunity to access the transplanted organs". This is based on statistics provided by the CCP’s State Health and Family Planning Commission.

Comparing the actual amount of 10,000 organ transplant cases each year, and the accumulated 5787 donors from 2010 to August, the public questions, where were the other organs obtained? Who has the ability to resource such a large number of human organs?

US-based political commentator Li Shankan: The gap is very clearly a black hole. When you have a few thousand cases of transplants which have no organ sources, there is already sufficient reason to doubt. Does it constitute a huge crime system? Who can carry out such a big operation?"

Back in early 2006, witnesses from China for the first time provided testimonies in the international arena that the CCP Authorities systematically had executed the organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. A few months later, the former Chief of Asia-Pacific Division of Canada Government, a senior Member of Parliament David Kilgour and international human rights lawyer David Matas reached the following conclusion. The allegations of the CCP executing organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners are true after an independent investigation.

This year, senior media person Gutmann from the United States also published a new book "The Slaughter" for which he took a 5 years to collect the testimonies by interviewing several witnesses. He estimated that, in order to undertake live organ harvesting, the CCP authorities killed 65,000 Falun Gong practitioners between the years 2000 and 2008.

Under the circumstances of more and more evidence emerging in the international community, the mainland media recently reported on the so-called largest organ trading case. Additionally, they reported on a thorough investigation into the illegal sale of human organs. So the comments believe that this is not a coincidence in terms of time.

US-based commentator Li Shankan: It (CCP) is diverting attention, the international pressure is growing, and more and more Chinese people know about this information through a variety of channels. But many people do not dare to believe the facts. It (CCP) is using this matter to confuse people. To date, the world's mainstream media and governments have accepted the fact, but this matter is still happening in China! Who will take the responsibility?

On 12th December, the EU adopted an emergency motion requesting that the CCP immediately stop organ harvesting from living prisoners of conscience, religious group members and people of minority ethnic groups. The motion also called for the immediate release of all prisoners of conscience including Falun Gong practitioners.

On July 30, the US Congress resolution No. 281 entered into force with the resolution explicitly requesting that the Chinese government immediately stop organ harvesting from all the prisoners. This is especially so from the Falun Gong prisoners of conscience and other religious and ethnic minorities people.

Falun Gong spokesman Zhang Erping: Obviously, this responds to the recent EU motion and the U.S. Congress resolution, which is to hit back the criticism from the international community. But the response only conceals its crimes, a crime against humanity, in fact , but also further confirmed the crimes accused by the international community. The CCP’s own data can not justify themselves.

Zhang Erping said that the CCP’s crimes against humanity of harvesting live Falun Gong practitioners’ organs cannot be denied, and the culprits of persecuting Falun Gong will be put into a public trial.
