THE FINAL HARVEST: A Comprehensive Investigation into the Chinese Communist Party’s Live Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners

November 18, 2015

Executive Summary

For more than nine years, serious questions about China’s organ transplant system have haunted the West. Are Falun Gong practitioners in the majority, but also Tibetans, Uyghurs, and House Christians being murdered for their retail organs in China’s hospitals? What is the real scale of China’s organ harvesting apparatus? And how deeply implicated is the Chinese Communist Party of China?

China is one of the most secretive medical systems in the world. In 2006, the Chinese medical establishment shut the door to any external investigation of forced disappearances of Falun Dafa practitioners and the transplant system, while China’s hospitals went to strict Internet silence. The Chinese medical establishment filled the information vacuum with official numbers which appear to bolster their claim that “medical reform” of organ transplantation is at hand. And who can contradict them?

We can.

Because of the remarkably short waiting time for organ tissue matches – usually about two weeks for a foreigner – we theorized that the organ harvesting infrastructure of China uses a sort of coded communication system to maintain its vast pool of human subjects – the vast majority of which are Falun Gong practitioners – and barters them among regional hospitals. Now, we believe we have broken at least part of the code. Just as the successful attempt to decrypt the Nazi’s Enigma Device began with a traffic analysis of all German units, we subjected Chinese medical communications to a comprehensive data analysis, searching thousands of reports and medical theses for any reference to the hospitals under our investigation. Here is what we found:

In the report, the WOIPFG cited 35 testimonies from five Politburo Standing Committee members, one vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), one Politburo member, one CMC member and former defense minister, one department head of the People’s Liberation Army General Logistics Department’s Health division, an armed guard at a scene of live organ harvesting, several senior officials from the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee, and transplant surgeons from more than 20 hospitals. These testimonies reveal that the majority of the extractedorgans were harvested from Falun Gong practitioners, and the order to harvest organs from Falun Gong practitioners came from the CCP’s highest level.
After Jiang Zemin started persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners in 1999, several million petitioners were illegally arrested and subsequently went missing. In the meanwhile, the number of organ transplant cases across China has experienced explosive growth. The abundance of organs available for transplant in China has enabled the hospitals to perform transplant operations by finding matching organs within 1-2 weeks.The evidence from the investigation demonstrates: many Falun Dafa petitioners, who did not report their names when being illegally detained, have been secretly imprisoned and code numbered as living organ donors.
Seven types of evidence prove the existence of an enormous living organ donor pool: the wait time for a donor organ is extremely short; there are a surprising number of emergency organ transplants; there are cases of multiple organ transplant operations taking place simultaneously; and living human beings have been used for spare organs. In addition, detained Falun Dafa practitioners have been forced to go through blood tests, while suffering from physical and mental abuse, but they were never informed of the test results. This evidence reveals the existence of a massive living organ donor bank.
After 2006, the volume of China's organ transplant remains higher than that in 2003. Moreover, intensive organ transplants have emerged. As a result of carefully crafted lies by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), it has always been misunderstood that the amount of organ transplants has declined since 2006. The truth is: the number not only remains higher than that in 2003, it is also on the trend of rise after the peak of organ transplants in 2006. Particularly after the disclosure of the CCP’s massive organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in 2006, a stunning phenomenon of intensive organ transplants emerged nationwide.
A “building-blocks” method to estimate the actual transplant numbers of 712 Chinese organ transplant hospitals, demonstrates that the 10,000-per-year rate of transplants publicly released by the Ministry of Health is a lie. China’s annual transplant numbers are suspected to be at least 10-20 times higher than the publicly released numbers.

Our report, drafted by highly qualified researchers both inside and outside of China, represents nine years of unprecedented surveillance into the Chinese medical system. Produced under conditions resembling wartime, our report is an interim assessment; debates over numbers, estimates, and interpretation of evidence continue within our investigative staff. Yet the core evidence in our report is replicable, transparent, and ultimately, indisputable. And there is no internal debate over the following conclusions:

Conclusion One: Live organ harvesting is an act of the state by the CCP. All evidence testifies that Jiang Zemin has personally ordered live organ harvesting be used on Falun Dafa practitioners. The CCP’s Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and other high-ranking offices have been involved. On a national scale, the CCP has used the army, armed police forces and government forces, including the public security, prosecutorial and judicial departments as well as the Political and Legislative Affairs Committees, and all organ transplant institutions across China. So, live organ harvesting is an act of the state by the CCP.
Conclusion Two: The main sources of the living organ donor bank are suspected to be the millions of Falun Dafa practitioners, who were illegally detained for petitioning.
Conclusion Three: Seven types of evidence prove the existence of an enormous living organ donor pool in China.
Conclusion Four:After 2006, the volume of China's organ transplant remains higher than that in 2003. Moreover, intensive organ transplants have emerged.
Conclusion Five: With no evidence of a concordant rise in the execution rate of death-row criminals, our report concludes that the actual number of Falun Gong practitionersharvested cannot be counted in the tens of thousands but is suspected to be in the millions.

The serial public declarations by the Chinese medical establishment of a new ethical environment for transplantation are simply a privacy shield to facilitate state-sanctioned murder.

The goal of this study is to establish the trajectory of organ harvesting of Falun Dafa practitioners in China. To achieve that goal we have been examining China’s hospitals and focusing on organ transplants over time. A truly accurate estimate of the overall numbers of Falun Gong practitioners murdered by forced organ harvesting is not the ultimate goal of this study, nor is it attainable at present, for the simple reason that this is not a conventional investigation, but aspecial investigation carried out when the entire Chinese nation is in a state of a special war! The subject of this investigation is the crimes of the state perpetrated by the CCP, which is the most brutal, most insidious, most evil and the largest totalitarian terrorist organization in the entire human history! This report does not present the investigation conclusions in the conventional sense, but some of the clues obtained by the WOIPFG through more than nine years of investigation in extremely difficult conditions.

As investigative researchers rather than activists, we have remained on the sidelines for many years, calmly waiting for the West to take action. Yet this report demonstrates that any further diplomatic acceptance of the official Chinese line by the West is to be complicit in an ongoing crime against humanity.
