Apr 9, 2025

Summary: Zhang Aimin, male, director of the Urology Department of the No. 960 Hospital of the PLA’s Joint Logistics Support Force (Formerly Jinan Military Region General Hospital), professor. The Urology Department of the hospital was approved by the CCP’s General Logistics Department in 2005 as the kidney transplant and dialysis treatment center for the entire army, with 80 beds. The transplant number ranks among top 10 in China and top 5 in the military. The hospital can start doing 6 kidney transplants at the same time, and once performed 16 kidney transplants in a row within 24 hours. WOIPFG’s telephone investigation recording: Ni Jialian, director of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of the hospital, admitted that the organs used were all Falun Gong organs. The transplant number is large and the waiting time for organs is short.

In view of the broader background of the Chinese Communist Party's state crime of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, since the No. 960 Hospital of the PLA’s Joint Logistics Support Force (Formerly Jinan Military Region General Hospital) has been involved in the crime, Zhang Aimin, the director of the hospital's Urology Department, is a major suspect.

[5] The hospital had not updated the data for at least ten years. The webpage was later deleted.  [6]
