New Witness: There Are Dozens of Similar Concentration Camps

      After the first two witnesses exposed the Sujiatun atrocities, another
      witness who identified himself as "a veteran military doctor in the
      General Logistics Department of the Shenyang Military Region" stepped
      forward to point out that the Sujiatun Concentration Camp indeed exists,
      organ harvesting and cremation of bodies is done routinely there, and some
      are even cremated while still alive. He stated that the Sujiatun hospital
      is only one of 36 similar concentration camps. Findings from the World
      Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong point to a
      similar situation.
      The Hospital in Sujiatun is Only One of 36 Similar Concentration Camps in
      China

      According to this witness from the military system, the hospital in
      Sujiatun District is only one of 36 similar concentration camps across
      China. At present, the majority of detained Falun Gong practitioners are
      in prisons, forced labor camps and detention centers. They are transferred
      elsewhere on a large scale only when needed.
      This witness said that Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces imprison
      the largest number of Falun Gong practitioners. The concentration camp in
      Jiutai Area, Jilin Province is the 5th largest camp imprisoning Falun Gong
      practitioners in China. This camp alone detains over 14,000 Falun Gong
      practitioners.

      Jilin Concentration Camp, Code Named 672-S, Imprisons over 120,000 People

      The veteran military doctor indicated, "From the information I have access
      to, the largest concentration camp is in Jilin Province. The concentration
      camp code named 672-S imprisons over 120,000 people. A large number of
      Falun Gong practitioners, felons and prisoners of conscience from all over
      China are there, but I do not know its address."
      There Were Indeed over 10,000 People Detained in the Underground
      Concentration Camp of the Sujiatun District Hospital Prior to 2005 and in
      Early 2005
      The witness said, "In the underground concentration camp of the Sujiatun
      District Hospital, there were indeed over 10,000 people kept there in
      early 2005, but at the present time, the number of detainees there is
      maintained at 600-750. Many detainees have been transferred to other
      concentration camps."
      It Takes Only One Day to Transfer 5,000 People
      He continued, "You can't find much evidence even if you enter Sujiatun
      District to investigate. It takes only one day to transfer 5,000 people in
      a closed freight train on a special route. I have witnessed a specially
      dispatched freight train transferring over 7,000 people in one trip from
      Tianjin to the
      Jilin area. It ran at night, guarded by the army. Everyone on the train
      was handcuffed to specially designed handrails like a rotisserie
      chickens."

      The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong
      (WOIPFG) Found that Many Cities Have Participated in the Crimes
      After the Sujiatun atrocities were exposed, WOIPFG launched an urgent
      investigation across China. Results show that the crimes of harvesting
      Falun Gong practitioners' organs have happened and are still happening in
      at least in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Hunan, Shandong, Liaoning, and
      Guangdong.
      The excerpts of several investigative telephone conversations are as below.

      (An Undisclosed Hospital in Guangzhou City)

      Caller: How long will I have to wait for a kidney?

      Doctor: About a week after you check into the hospital.

      Caller: But I have to have a fresh and healthy kidney, and I want one from
      a live donor. You are not going to give me a kidney from a dead person,
      are you?

      Doctor: Of course we will give you a high-quality kidney!

      Caller: Do you have one like the ones I hear about from Falun Gong people?


      Doctor: What we have in our hospital are all this kind.
      (An Undisclosed Medical College in Tianjin)

      Caller: The doctor said the kidney is very good and came from someone who
      practices qigong. I asked what type of qigong, and he told me the man
      practices Falun Gong. I heard that those who practice Falun Gong are
      healthier.

      Doctor: Of course. We also have kidneys from Falun Gong practitioners
      here. We harvest kidneys from people who are still breathing or have a
      heartbeat. So far we have had about a dozen such cases this year (2006)...
      Of course, the supplier's health is a very important factor. The supplier
      has to be young and healthy. Moreover, the time period where the warm
      blood supply to the kidney is cut off has to be reduced to a minimum or
      even to none. In this case, there was no lack of warm blood supply.
      (An Undisclosed Hospital in Shandong Province)

      Caller: I want a kidney from those who practice Falun Gong, one that's
      totally healthy.

      Doctor: Well...We will definitely have a lot of suppliers like that in
      April. The number of those suppliers is gradually increasing.

      Caller: Why are you going to have more in April?

      Doctor: I cannot tell you that because this involves... Anyway, there is
      no need to go into that. I cannot go into that with you.
      The Chinese Communist Party's Top Level Leadership Agreed to Deal With
      Class Enemies With Any Means
      According to witness, the Chinese Communist Party has openly declared
      Falun Gong to be "class enemies", turning Falun Gong practitioners into
      the target of its most severe suppression. The witness said that according
      to the latest decisions, the Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee
      agreed to treat Falun Gong practitioners as "class enemies" and to handle
      them in any economically beneficial manner without having to report to
      higher authorities. In other words, Falun Gong practitioners, like many
      felons in China, are no longer regarded as human beings, but as raw
      materials for commercial products. They have become commodities.
      According to the witness from the military system, according to "the
      country's regulations," the provincial government has the authority to
      establish "recycling organizations" to process felons under the
      supervision of the military region in the province. This practice was
      established by a legal document that the Chinese Communist Party's Central
      Military Committee established as early as 1962. This practice continues
      to this day. According the regulations in the document, death penalty
      prisoners and felons convicted of serious crimes may be processed
      according to the development needs of the state or of socialism. During
      the Great Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), the most extreme way to process
      these prisoners was to use their bodies for food. The second was to use
      them as slave labor for construction or line production work.

      According to the witness, after a 1984 amendment, it became legal to
      harvest organs from felons. The police and judicial departments perform
      organ harvests on living prisoners before cremating their bodies.
      Sometimes, they injure the prisoners in a show execution before they
      perform organ harvests on the injured prisoners. They then cremate their
      bodies. Since 1992, such a practice has become public. Due to the
      development of many related businesses, human bodies, live or dead, have
      become profitable raw materials.
