WOIPFG investigations show that Wang Lijun, former Police Chief and Party Secretary of Jinzhou City, as well as the director of Jinzhou Public Security Bureau's On-Site Psychology Research Center (OSPRC), is suspected to have played a major role in harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. One of the “accomplishments” of the OSPRC was the "Research on Organ Transplantation from Donors Who Have Been Subjected to Drug Injection (Translator note: from the context, it's actually the execution by lethal injection)." The project was under Wang's supervision, partnering with Beijing University, China Medical University, Jinzhou Medical University and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) 205 Hospital of Jinzhou City. All these hospitals are suspected to have performed organ transplantations on live Falun Gong practitioners. For details, please refer to http://www.upholdjustice.org/node/214.

On May 23, 2006, Liaoxi Business Daily Page B4 published an report titled “The highest realm and pursuit of a military doctor.” The report praised Chen Rongshan, the urology chief physician of the PLA 205 Hospital of Jinzhou City, for having completed 568 cases of kidney transplants. Chen Rongshan’s reputation brought him patients from all over the world, including Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Malaysia, etc. One witness said that it only took PLA 205 Hospital 1 week to find a matching live organ. For details, please refer to http://www.upholdjustice.org/node/218.
WOIPFG conducted telephone investigation on Chen Rongshan, who was already retired at the time of the phone conversation. During the conversation, Chen admitted many times about harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners and about performing transplant surgeries. It was also discovered that all correspondence with the outside by related medical personnel was under direct and strict control of the Party and administrative branches.

Below are transcripts of 2 telephone conversations between the WOIPFG investigator and Chen Rongshan.

Chen: Hello?
WOIPFG: Hello, is this Chen Rongshan, the urology chief physician of the PLA 205 Hospital of Jinzhou City?
Chen: Yes, yes, yes, who are you?
WOIPFG: I’m from the Wang Lijun inter-departmental investigation team.
Chen: ah
WOIPFG: When Wang Lijun was at the Jinzhou Public Security Bureau, he was in charge of the On-Site Psychology Research Center. The center had some joint projects with PLA 205 Hospital. Can you tell me more about the projects?
Chen: oh
WOIPFG: He had a project called “Research on Organ Transplantation from Donors who have been Subjected to Drug Injection.” PLA 205 Hospital was the partner. Please tell me more about this project.
Chen: ah
WOIPFG: What I am asking is whether you have cooperated?
Chen: There was also China Medical University.
WOIPFG: Wang Lijun told us that some organ donors were jailed Falun Gong practitioners. Is that true?
Chen: Those are arranged by the court.
WOIPFG: By the court, right?
Chen: yes, yes.
WOIPFG: That is to say that the organs were provided by prisons and labor camps?
Chen: Let me say something, don’t talk about this matter with me, ok?
WOIPFG: Because we are now…
Chen: If you want to talk to me, contact the Political Department of the PLA 205 Hospital first. Ok?
WOIPFG: well, we’ve already discussed this with them before talking to you.
Chen: no, no, you, the Political Department hasn’t called me. I cannot, cannot, ok?
WOIPFG: they, the telephone number is the same.
Chen: They must call me first, ok?
WOIPFG: we’ve already talked to them.
Chen: Ask someone from the Political Department to call me.
WOIPFG: We’ve already contacted secretary Lin from the Political Dept.
Chen: That won’t work. We have disciplines in the military. If you want to discuss certain matters, you must first talk to the Political Dept., then someone from the Political Dept. must call me. Alright?
WOIPFG: He told me to contact you directly, so….
Chen hung up the phone.
