WOIPFG releases phone records regarding involvement of Zhou Yongkang and key Chinese Communist Party officials in organ harvesting
The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong initiated a special effort in investigating officials of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee (PLAC) of the Chinese Communist Party who have participated in live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners. Our investigators posed as different identities to question Li Changchun (member of PLAC), Luo Gan (former secretary of PLAC), Wei Jianrong (former deputy director for the PLAC office) and Tang Junjie (deputy secretary of PLAC in Liaoning Province). We also have recording of a phone conversation that revealed hidden facts behind the handling of the aftermaths of the Sichuan earthquake related to Zhou Yongkang that we wish to publicize along with the investigation.
These phone conversations reveal that live organ harvesting from jailed Falun Gong practitioners is committed under the direction of PLAC’s current secretary Zhou Yongkang and its former secretary Luo Gan. Li Changchun is also involved.
The following record is part of our investigation targeted at Zhou Yongkang and a few others. We will reveal more as the investigation progresses so that people in China and around the world will have a good grasp of Zhou’s involvement in this inhuman crime.

Phone conversation between WOIPFG investigator, as “an official of the Ministry of State Security,” and Wei Jianrong, manager of PLAC Office of Development and Direction and former deputy manager of PLAC office.
Investigator: Can I speak to the Director of the PLAC Wei Jianrong?
Wei Jianrong: Where are you from?
Investigator: It was me again, from the Ministry of State Security. As I said earlier, I mainly hope to know about…
Wei Jianrong: This happened a while back. I’ll tell you my judgment.
Investigator: ah…
Wei Jianrong: This thing, about what you just said, this happened a long time ago. Those people who came recently would not know about it. Secondly, this person is surely not from my unit, that's for sure. Our units certainly do not have such a person, and that is a basic concept. To narrow the scope, how to operate it, then you may have to go to the unit to check the original record, now there is no one who can talk about it clearly.
Investigator: That is to say the event of the organ harvesting from the jailed Falun Gong practitioners has happened since long ago?
Wei Jianrong: Right, right, right, very long ago.

Li Changchun: You should contact Zhou Yongkang.
Investigator: Yes, while at that time…
Li Changchun: Zhou Yongkang is in charge of this specifically. He knows it. Ok. I’ll have my secretary talk to you directly.

Tang Junjie: When do you want me to come over?
Investigator: Yes.
Tang Junjie: When do you want me to come over?
Investigator: Let’s talk on the phone first to clear up some things. If necessary I’ll send you an invitation to come over.
Tang Junjie: Ok, sure.
Investigator: Well we have a few questions for you.
Tang Junjie: Go ahead.
Investigator: The first question is what kind of directions or commands did Bo give regarding removing organs from Falun Gong practitioners?
Tang Junjie: I was asked to take care of this task. Party central is actually taking care of this. The impact was quite big after the union. He was involved quite positively, yeah it seemed quite positive. At that time we mainly talked about it during the meetings within the Standing Committee. We talked about positive things. Where are you located? The fact that you are asking me about this is a bit....where are you from?
Investigator: I’m in Beijing and I’m part of the special investigation team for this case.
Tang Junjie: Ah ok. So I won’t respond to your questions now. After I receive exact information I will answer you, ok? I will give you response after I see an invitation with official letterhead from you. It’s a bit difficult for me to answer right now, especially because it involves things like this. I cannot answer more. Ok! If you need me to come over, get me an official invitation. The fact that you are talking about this over the phone seems to be out of the blue for me. I cannot respond.

Other information
WOIPFG also released evidence on China’s law and justice system‘s participation of organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners. WOIPFG has a large amount of recordings of military, public security and court individuals who directly participated in one way or another. Some of them include details of departments that are assigned to manage organ harvesting and help connect military hospitals to patients as well as the police who executed Falun Gong practitioners. The evidences listed below provide the public with a more detailed picture of the brutality of the persecution operated by PLAC and Zhou Yongkang, etc.

Report on organ harvesting http://zhuichaguoji.org/node/1437;
From the eye witnesses of organ removal and execution http://zhuichaguoji.org/node/2677;
Conclusion
Since it was exposed to the public in 2006, the organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners has been one of WOIPFG’s high priority investigations. With the ongoing investigation, a series of reports have been published. This latest report further proves that organ harvesting, the unprecedented crime on earth, has been carrying out under the direction of Zhou Yongkang, current head of PLAC, and Luo Gan, former head of PLAC.
The current situation is changing rapidly, the cases with Wang Lijun and Bo Xilai have already implicated the main culprit of the persecution, Zhou Yongkang. The Jiang Zemin faction is breaking apart. The crimes will be exposed completely and the criminals will be punished. WOIPFG asks everyone involved in or have knowledge of the persecution to obtain evidence and provide them to WOIPFG.
