WOIPFG’s Latest Investigation Results: in the Name of “Organ Donation”, CCP Continues to Harvest Organs from a Large Number of Living Falun Gong Practitioners
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) claims that starting from January 1, 2015,the Chinese citizens’ voluntary donation has become the sole source of organs for transplantation. Furthermore, instead of decreasing, the number of organ transplants has actually increased, reaching a historical new high.
Between January and November 2015, World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG)conducted phone investigation on 169 mainland Chinese hospitals, which are qualified to perform organ transplants, and some citizen organ donation organizations, and wrote a report titled “The Chinese Communist Regime Continues Its Campaign of Forced Organ Harvesting from Living Falun Gong Practitioners” (published on November 27, 2015; updated on December 20, 2015). It reported on the grave situation of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) continuing organharvesting of a large number of living Falun Gong practitioners.
From January to June 2016, WOIPFG’s latest investigation results show that:
1. Across China,the situations of extremely short organ wait times andan ample supply of donor organs have not changed. Some hospitals even provide critically ill patients with “green channels” (emergency liver transplants), which cannot be possible with a limited number and unstable supply of donated organs.
2. A medical staff of China’s largest organ transplant center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, hasadmitted that the hospital’s annualorgan transplantsamount to “several thousands of cases”, are appropriate to the size of the hospital’s transplant center and are about 10 times of the transplant number publically reported by the hospital. This is consistent with the conclusions of WOIPFG’supdated comprehensive investigation report on organ harvesting, which was published on January 7, 2016.
3.The difficult situation of organ donation remains the same across China, with a limited number of organ donations and unstable donation characteristics. So organ donation cannot explain the above-mentioned number of transplanted organs and short organ wait times.
4. Some hospitals have admitted their previous use of Falun Gong practitioners’ organs and implied that they are currently still using the same type of organs.
More so, Zhu Jiabin, the head of the general department of the CCP’s“610 Office” in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, has admitted in a high-profile way to live organ harvesting Falun Gong practitioner Gao Yixi. Sounding to be unscrupulous and emboldened in the knowledge of being backed up, he said that he had “sold” Gao’s organs.
Substantial evidence shows that the CCP’s crime of organ harvesting a large number of living Falun Gong Practitioners is still ongoing.
- Latest Development of Live Organ Harvesting Case Investigation: Mudanjiang City’s 610 police Zhu Jiabin Admitted to Harvesting and “Selling” Living Falun Gong Practitioner Gao Yixi’s Organs
At 5:22 p.m. on June 21, 2016, when a WOIPFG investigator was investigating and collecting evidence on the case of suspected live organ harvesting and murder of Falun Gong practitioner Gao Yixi in Mudanjiang City, one of the suspects, Zhu Jiabin, the head of the general department of the CCP’s “610 Office” in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, directly admitted to the investigator his harvesting and “selling” of Falun Gong practitioner Gao Yixi’s organs.
Case Description:
Shortly after 9:00p.m. on April 19, 2016, Falun Gong practitioner Gao Yixi, a 45-year-old maleresiding in the Water Supplies BureauCommunity near Yueya Lakein Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, was illegally arrested along with his wife Sun Fengxia by five people, led by Mudanjiang Municipal Public Security Xianfeng Sub-Bureau’s Yuanming Community Police Office’s patrol unit vice-captainLv Hongfeng and taken to Yuanming Community Police Office. The policemen illegally raided Gao Yixi’s home and took away some personal items, including a printer, a laptop and Falun Gong books. After about one hour, Gao Yixi and his wife were sent to the Mudanjiang Second Detention Center to be illegally detained. During his illegal detention, Gao Yixi went on a hunger strike, and he wasseverely tortured by Yuanming Community Police Office’s criminal police team’s vice-captain Yu Yang and others. He was later sent to the local public security hospital.
On April 29, at noon time, Gao Yixi’s mother and daughter went to the public security hospital to request his release. They were deceived by the people there, who said that Gao was alright, and they were demanded to leave. On April 30, at 10 a.m., his family made a difficult journey to return to their ancestral home. At noon time on the same day, the police went to their ancestral home and found Gao Yixi’s elder brother. They told him that Gao Yixi had passed away.And his body was in Mudanjiang Sidao Crematorium’s dissecting room. Gao’s elder brother rushed to the crematorium, where he was demanded by the police to agree to performan autopsy on Gao’s body and immediately cremate his body afterwards. Since Gao’s brother refused to give his consent and yelled at them, they reluctantly agreed to allow Gao’s daughter to go to the crematorium. In the end, without his family’s consent, the policemen claimed that they had alreadyperformed “an autopsy” on his body.
Gao’s family had no knowledge of Gao Yixi being taken to the hospital or hisautopsy during the entire process. At around 1 p.m. on April 30, Gao Yixi’s young daughter, a 16-year-old high school student, rushed to the crematorium. The policemen didn’t allow her to see his body, and there were two special policemenforcefully pulling her arms to prevent her from approaching Gao’s body. She saw his body only from two meters away: his eyes were wide open; his stiff arms were stretching out tothe right and left;there were obvious handcuff marks on his wrists;and his fists were clenching. His chest and back were swollen and very thick, but his abdomen was particularly flat. In less than two minutes, the special policemen forcibly dragged Gao’s daughter out and placedGao’s body in the freezing chamber. His family didn’t agree to cremate his body, but the policemen said that his body would be forcibly cremated within three days.
In May, upon being pressed by Gao’s family’s lawyer, the policemen claimed that Gao Yixi died of heart attack. However, Gao Yixi’s family and Gao himself have no history of heart diseases.
Gao’s family had no knowledge of Gao Yixi being taken to the hospital or his autopsy during the entire process. When was an autopsy performed on Gao’s body? Why did the autopsy take place? Who carried out the autopsy? And what are the results of the autopsy? His family has no answer for all of these questions.
Zhu Jiabin, the head of the general department of the CCP’s “610 Office” in Mudanjiang City, repeatedly admitted in a high-profile way to harvesting and “selling”Gao Yixi’s organs. (Download audio file)
Investigator: You carved outhis organs, and (you think) you can get away with it? Zhu Jiabin…
Zhu Jiabin: Sold them!
Investigator: Ah?
Zhu Jiabin: All sold, they were all sold.
Investigator: It is ok for you to have sold them, how can you say this so easily? What if Gao Yixi were your brother, would you still talk like this?
Zhu Jiabin: That was just the human stuff. After slaughtering and opening up the belly, you just carve out (the organs), and sell them.
Investigator: Let me tell you, Zhu Jiabin, you are the head of the 610 (office). This is written very clearly on international websites. You know that the 610 at the beginning was Jiang Zemin persecuted Falun Gong…an illegal organization set up to persecute Falun Gong. Your department is illegal and above the law, do you know?
Zhu Jiabin: I do not know.
Investigator: You participated in live organ harvesting of Gao Yixi, and you even said such things. Don’t you have a heart (i.e. conscience)? Where is your conscience?
Zhu Jiabin: Yes, I do have. Here it is! I see it is thumping, thumping!
Investigator: You’ve sold someone else’s organs, and you even say something like this?! Are you still human?!
Zhu Jiabin: You even...
Investigator: Humans should have human nature. You are such people without human nature, and you even say such things.If this happened to your family and friends, would you think like this?
Zhu Jiabin: If you appeared in front of me, I would also live organ harvest you,do you believe it or not?
Investigator: You should know that good and evil will be repaid, which is a heavenly principle. Do you know this principle?
Zhu Jiabin: I don’t know. I only know to sell (organs) for money after (organ) harvesting. This is my principle.
Investigator: Let me tell you.Can you bear to spend this money? Ah? If people from your family were live organ harvested and (had their organs) sold by others, could you (bear it)? You!
Zhu Jiabin: Don’t you know my nickname?
Investigator: Murderers must pay with their lives,do you know?
Zhu Jiabin: I have just told you. If you had guts to stand in front of me right now, I would live organ harvest you all the same. My nickname is “the butcher”.
Investigator: Let me tell you~
Zhu Jiabin: Next time, next time, when you phone me,don’t call me by my name. I’ve changed my name, and I am now called“the butcher”.
Investigator: Let me tell you. You persecute Falun Gong, and you’ve live organ harvested Falun Gong practitioner Gao Yixi.We will track down and hold you responsible for your crimes, do you know?
Zhu Jiabin: Just track me down! I am number one in the world.What do I fear? I am called the butcher, specializing in live organ harvesting!
Investigator: You are so outrageous.You think nobody canpunish you, right?
Zhu Jiabin: Who would dare to punish me?
Investigator: The law, are you the law, right? You 610 (Office) is above the law and an illegal organization.
Zhu Jiabin: That I don’t know.It was said by you that I am lawless. I feel very good. It’s nothing, just like slaughtering pigs.You come over to shave the hair first, and then split open the belly. I would carve out whatever I need. After scoping (the organs) out, I would sell them. How wonderful? How fast the money would come…
- Up to Now, in China, the Organ Transplant Volume is Large, the Number of Donors is Sufficient and the Donor Organ Wait Times Are Very Short
WOIPFG’s investigation has found that the mainland Chinesemajor organ transplant hospitals, which performorgan transplants,have all admitted to performing a large number of organ transplants from 2015 to present. Also, there is an ample supply of donors, so the organ wait times are very short. Some hospitals even have “green channels” for liver transplants (i.e. emergency liver transplants). Some hospitals recently have an abundance of organs,so they had to find patients from all over the place to perform surgeries. The investigation has also found that these situations are commonplace across China, including in Beijing and Shanghai, where there isonly a small number of donated organs.

III. Both donation institutions and doctors complain about the shortage and poor quality of donated organs and the fact that few donations have been actually successful
From December 6 to 17, 2015, WOIPFG investigated the organ donation institutions under Red Cross Chapters in a number of cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. According to the investigation, the donation institution under Beijing Red Cross was still in the planning and preparation stage; as for Tianjin Red Cross, “since the establishment of the organ donation institution in 2003, there has been only 170 registered cases”; and as for Shanghai, “up till now, Shanghai has only 5 successful cases of organ donation”. These numbers are far lower than the exceedingly large numbers of organ transplant operations performed in hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai and cannot possibly be the source for the actual transplant numbers. For example, according to the investigation, since 2006, the actual number of liver transplant conducted by Tianjin First Central Hospital has exceeded 5,000 cases per year, with the highest annual number possibly reaching 8,000 cases. For the PLA No. 309 Hospital, since 2012, the actual annual number for kidney transplant exceeds 4,000 cases. According to WOIPFG’s latest investigation, organ donation in China remains few and far between during the period from January to June 2016. The following are some examples:
1. Most organ donation cases don’t get carried through
March 9, 2016 Gao Min - Coordinator for Human Organ Donation of Shenzhen Red Cross (+86+1314879 9308): Even if you want to donate now, there’s the question of whether the donation can be actually fulfilled? Most donations don’t get carried through. There are many constraining conditions for organ donation. (Download Audio MP3)

No one is donating. When investigator asked: but doctors in Anhui said you performed more than 300 corneal transplants last year. Zhou replied: That’s impossible! Who is donating the corneas?

3. “An entire year goes by with only very few cases performed”
February 20, 2016 Investigator asked whether Harbin doesn’t have many people registering to donate organs. To which Zhao Chen, doctor from the Third Urological Unit at the Harbin Medical University Affiliated Second Hospital replied: Too few, ah, too few! An entire year goes by with only very few cases performed. (Download Audio MP3)
4. Sichuan Province had about 150 cases of organ donation from 2012 to the end of March 2016
From 2012 to end of March 2016, Sichuan Province had about 150 cases of successful organ donation through the Red Cross. Among which, West China Hospital performed 63 cases. “In 2012, only 2 cases were approved; in 2013, 10 cases; this year (2016), from January to March, there were 20 cases.”
Yet according to investigation, by March 31, 2016, a doctor from West China Hospital admitted: We do many cases every year, many operations, we do kidney transplant operations, our entire ward is [filled with] kidney transplant [patients]. We do it every day. (Download Audio MP3)
2016-04-01 Article: The First Memorial in Sichuan for Organ Donors Completed Its Construction
This hospital’s Urological Department has “197 beds for general urological patients, and 31 beds for kidney transplant patients [1], “The treatment period for postoperative kidney patients was shortened to 10 days, which greatly increased the bed turnover rate” [2]. According to a doctor from this hospital, “Our entire ward is filled with kidney transplant [patients]”. And “we do it every day”. According to the abovementioned report: “this year (2016), from January to March, there were 20 cases” – this is far from enough to meet the kidney demand of this hospital.
IV. Medical personnel from the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Zhejiang University personally admitted to performing “several thousand cases “of liver transplant every year
According to the latest investigation, medical personnel from the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Zhejiang University personally admitted that this hospital performs “several thousand cases” of liver transplant every year, “there were more than 1,000 cases [performed]”, and they have used “living organ donors”.
1. “Our hospital does several thousand cases every year” [3].
May 4, 2016 Liver transplant ward at the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Zhejiang University (+86-57187236736).
Nurse on duty: Our hospital performs several thousand cases every year, you… … Zheng Shusen is our chief physician. Originally we had living donors. When asked by the investigator whether they could use organs from “living donors”, the doctor told the investigator to hurry up and register at the outpatient service. (Download Audio MP3)
2. Ample donor supply, transplant industry seeing an expansion
Since this hospital has an ample supply of “donors”, the director of the transplant center, Zheng Shusen, recently established an international hospital, despite the fact the hospital has not received accreditation. The most important function of the hospital is performing liver transplant operations. This hospital has a large team of transplant doctors (there are 9 chief physicians, and 8 associate chief physicians) [4].
On February 11, 2016, our investigator conducted a phone investigation on Zheng Shusen himself – president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Zhejiang University (+86-13805749805). During the investigation, Zheng Shusen said, “I just performed a liver transplant this afternoon. Currently I am at the International Hospital of Zhejiang University, today’s operation was performed here.” He then said, “When are you coming, I will be waiting for you, when you are ready to come over, send me a text message”. “We are a transplant team, I am the team leader, I am the chief surgeon.” (Download Audio MP3)
3. Background information on the International Hospital of Zhejiang University:
On April 29, 2015, the International Hospital of Zhejiang University had its formal unveiling ceremony. This is a non-public medical facility affiliated to Zhejiang University. The hospital received its investment from the Shulan Medical Group, established in 2013. The name “Shulan” is taken from both the names of Zheng Shusen (“shu”) and his wife Li Lanjuan (“lan”). Their son, Zheng Jie, acts as the CEO of the Shulan Medical Group. Zheng Jie is also the vice president of the newly formed International Hospital, and is mainly in charge of the hospital’s finance and HR.
4. The transplant center at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical School of Zhejiang University
The transplant center is a key laboratory for the studies and research on the topic of joint multiple-organ transplant – a research project of the Ministry of Health. It is the largest transplant center in East China. In 2007, the center completed the construction of a building designated for liver transplant, and the building “has 4 wards for hepatobiliary transplant patients, 3 wards for liver transplant patients, 1 interventional treatment center, and 1 ICU ward for liver, pancreas and gallbladder conditions”; transplant operation has become “greater in scale”. In addition, the kidney transplant ward at the kidney disease center has 40 beds, which is one of the largest kidney transplant centers in China.[i]

V．Doctors used to openly admit organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, now they implied that they are still doing it.
1. “We started using kidneys from living donors since 1999”
February 20, 2016 Chen Zhaoyan (+8613304519590) at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University: In the past, we had used kidney from both dead people and live donors. We started to use kidneys from living donors since 1999, to perform kidney transplants. Before that, kidney donors were mostly dead people, it was after 1999 that we had more live kidney donors.” When the WOIPFG investigator asked if the organs were from Falun Gong practitioners, he became very evasive and hung up the phone after a few words. (Download Audio MP3)
2. “Do you have the type of organ that was used in the past but not allowed to use any more?” Liu Dongfu: “We can talk about that when you come to our hospital, Okay?”
March 31, 2016 Liu Dongfu, chief surgeon for kidney transplant at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital in Shandong Province (+86-13853501608) said, “The approximate waiting time for kidney transplant is about one month. Please ask the patient to come as early as possible, and I will perform the transplant for him.”
Investigator: “Do you have the type of organs that were used in the past but are not allowed to be used anymore?”
Liu Dongfu: “We can talk about that when you come to our hospital, Okay?...You have not registered with us yet, and we have not seen you in person, if you ask (for) too much (information), it’s not very appropriate. So I cannot answer all your questions, alright?” (Download Audio MP3)
3. “I cannot tell you this over the phone…”
April 5, 2016 Doctor Liu at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (+86-13975195016): “What we used previously are all those things, their use is banned now. I cannot tell you this over the phone… Can you come to our hospital for consultation? It’s not easy to explain that clearly over the phone.” (Download Audio MP3)
4. “At that time the livers were extracted inside the hospital, not the execution site…”
May 5, 2016Doctor Zhou at the transplant division of People’s Hospital at Sichuan (+86-28-87393722): “I started doing it in 2012. At that time the livers were extracted inside the hospital, (we) didn’t need to go to the execution sites…”
Investigator: “So you take the donors to the hospital for organ extraction and then sent them out?”
Doctor Zhou: “After the extraction, we send them to wherever they are supposed to go. Send them to a mortuary for cremation.” (Download Audio MP3)
According to WOIPFG’s investigation, the transplant center at this hospital was ranked 28th in 2009 among over 160 transplant centers in China. “By January 2011, it has developed to become a clinical surgery center with more than 100 hospital beds. The hospitalization time for those advanced cirrhosis and liver cancer patients, who had transplants performed, is usually very short. [6]”
Based on the number of hospital beds and the turnover rate, it can be calculated that there are more than 1,000 liver and kidney transplants at this hospital every year. If the livers are to be extracted inside the hospital, obviously the donors are not death-row inmates. It is impossible for Sichuan Province to have this many death-row inmates. Then who are the donors? In China, the execution of death-row inmates should follow strict procedures and require the joint efforts and supervision of the procuratorate, the court and the prison authorities. It is impossible for a hospital to randomly kill an inmate based on their need for transplant.
Our principles are: whoever has committed the crime is responsible for it, individuals are responsible for group organized crimes, instigating a crime is the same as directly committing a crime. Based on these principles, all the crimes conducted in the name of organizations, units, and systems will eventually be the responsibility of the individuals. All the responsible persons who have participated in the persecution of Falun Gong will be investigated thoroughly and brought to justice.
We hereby warn those who have participated in the persecution of Falun Gong: the persecution of Falun Gong is crime of genocide and crime against humanity! It is the same crime committed by the Nazi war criminals. Carrying out instructions can’t be used as an excuse for exemption; all the participants are responsible.
Founded on January 20, 2003, the purpose of World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) is to help coordinate the forces of justice and penal institutions in the international community, to investigate the criminal conduct of all institutions, organizations, and individuals involved in the persecution of Falun Gong, to bring such investigations, no matter how long it takes, no matter how far and deep we have to search, to full closure, to exercise fundamental principles of humanity, and to restore and uphold justice in society.
