This extensive article features transcripts of telephone conversations with Chinese doctors by WOIPFG agents who ask about the availability of 'fresh' organs especially from healthy Falun Gong practitioners. The answers are quite revealing.

Mr. Zhang Xingwu, a 67-year-old retired physics professor at Jinan Normal University, and his wife, Ms. Pinjie Liu were arrested from their home on July 16, 2008.

WOIPFG Report: List of Hospitals and Transplant Centers in China Confirmed by WOIPFG to Harvest Organs for Transplant Operations from Living Falun Gong Practitioners

The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) tracks and investigates reports of transplant operations in China where the organ donors are believed to be Falun Gong practitioners, custom-killed for their organs. Many cases have been investigated since news of these organ harvesting atrocities first came to light in 2006, with the grim results confirming that the allegations of illicit and illegal organ harvesting are true.

Many of those killed were Falun Gong practitioners who refused to reveal their identities to police when arrested. Hospital records report such donor identities anonymously, with numbers used in place of names. The evidence suggests that such illicit transplants occurred at the highest rate sometime around 2003. Information about such killings is much harder to come by today, as the cloak of secrecy has been tightened. Nevertheless, the organ harvesting atrocities continue to this day.

Renowned Canadian human rights lawyer David Matas and Canada's former Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific David Kilgour conducted an in-depth independent examination of the evidence. (Complete report http://organharvestinvestigation.net) Their conclusion after exhaustive analysis:

"We believe that there has been and continues today to be large scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners. We have concluded that the government of China and its agencies in numerous parts of the country, in particular hospitals but also detention centres and 'people's courts', since 1999 have put to death a large but unknown number of Falun Gong prisoners of conscience. Their vital organs, including kidneys, livers, corneas and hearts, were seized involuntarily for sale at high prices, sometimes to foreigners, who normally face long waits for voluntary donations of such organs in their home countries."

Please do what you can to help stop these atrocities. Encourage the media to report the situation. Ask your elected officials to demand that Chinese authorities put an immediate end to organ harvesting atrocities, and to allow independent investigators to enter China to document what is and has been happening. Write to the United Nations, NGOs and others who you believe can help. When enough of us stand up and cry for justice, we will be heard and the atrocities will end.

WOIPFG has compiled a complete record of evidence gathered. Please contact WOIPFG directly for more information.

A: Hello, Are you Xiao Chen?

B: Yes,

A: Are you Chen Qiang?

B: Yes, Speak

...

A: Hi, how are you? Last time I talked to you about contacting the kidney supply sources. How is it going?

B: You meant that, contacting the prison, or "that something"?

A: Yes, the source of Falun Gong practitioners, I meant.

...

A: Alright, besides it, how could you be so sure he (the source) was a Falun Gong practitioner, did you find out for sure?

B: How to positively identify as a Falun Gong practitioner, well, when the time comes --- when the time comes our side, our Boss will have people showing you information, you know, he will show you the information and data, you can be sure.

A: Oh, that's fine.

B: They have all the information and data, even including individual resumes.

A: Oh, so there were more cases around 2003?

B: Of course. There were tons of Falun Gong's on file around 2003.

A: That is what I mean; it was much easier for you to get the organs for the operation at that time, right?

B: Ah, since 2003, I tell you the facts, I handled two cases in 2003, and I started in 2003.

A: I heard from others that, several years ago, they arrested many Falun Gong practitioners who did not give out their names after they were detained, quite a few, they detained them underground, the kind of place that was neither a prison nor a labor camp...

B: You are talking about what's going on around 2003 time frame. I knew exactly what you were talking about. They did not reveal their name starting from 2003.From now on, Falun Gong was no longer an issue, they were pretty much all suppressed and were out of the picture now. From now on, Falun Gong was no longer an issue, they were pretty much all suppressed and were out of the picture now.

B: Last time I made some inquiries by calling around, ---- Falun Gong --- Later I contacted that site by phone, I asked my boss to call him, and he said they needed to obtain from inside there.

A: Oh.

B: Now they were all transferred to remotely located prisons, they need to get some from there, getting from there means the money, the money must be paid mostly to people over there, you know.

A: But I tell you, on the other hand, right now it is very stringent, and they should not ask too much. You know that several years ago, they secretly detained many Falun Gong practitioners who went to appeal but did not provide their names. There was no records, no registrations.

B: Yes. Over here, like over there it is quite normal, you know. He --- did not --- did not give out his name. Let me tell you, even if he did not give out his name, he would leave a code name, understand?

A: Yes.

B: Such people who did not give out names all had code numbers. I know this better than you. They had code number 8, they had ---. All had codes in the record file.

A: Oh, so it is like this. If they only had the codes, they should also have the real names in the record. These should be in there, right?

B: If they could not find out the real names, they just left code numbers, you know.

...

A: Oh, OK. Just one more question.

B: We... I tell you. To tell you the truth, what we have here all belong to this kind. We have connections with government officials. There are connections to high ranking officials. You know, I will show you such material even if you don't ask me for it. You know.

A: Oh, sure. Oh. You are saying that the policemen, the policemen over there...

B: This... I cannot tell you anything about that.

A: OK.

B: I will not tell you too much about our business. Whatever is going on high up on our side, there are rules for everything, you know.

...

A: OK.

B: I...I...I cannot, dare not say anything, you know.

A: Yes. Can I meet him before the organ transplant?

B: Sure, no problem about that...

A: OK. Ah... There is one more thing that I don't quite understand. That is to say, these people are detained in forced labor camps or prisons. Normally, I know that they are in the police station ...

B: Right now, there are fewer in the forced labor camps.

A: Really, where are they usually detained now?

B: Right now they are somewhere in the prisons. They are in prisons now. Normally, they were sent away from Beijing if they were arrested in Beijing. If they were arrested in other places, they were detained in local prisons. Normally they are sentenced to 10 years, 8 years, or something like that. There are many such cases.

A: Ah, so it's not detention centers, nor labor camps, right?

B: It is in detention centers, it is in detention centers. After some Falun Gong practitioners were sentenced, with some sentenced to more than 10 years. They were transferred to other places for sure, you know.

A: Ah.

B: Right now it's impossible to leave it to you. They cannot give you the material at this time, you know.

...

B: After such a thing is done, I tell you. It is not that I want to tell you something. Oh, some details such as the names of some people, I cannot tell you, you know.

A: Yes.

B: Like our boss, like the connections to the detention centers, I cannot tell you. This, when the time is right... you...Let me tell you in advance...making sure...You know, such as these names I cannot tell you, you know...Such confidential things I cannot tell you. Otherwise, we cannot do business in the future, you know.

A: I understand what you said. I only want to ask you two things. I want to know these things. First I want to see this person. I want to know where he came from. I want to make sure that he is really a Falun Gong practitioner. Another thing, the doctor who is going to get the kidney, I want to know if he really has the skills, not just an ordinary policeman. It is not acceptable if the quality is not guaranteed.

B: That's for sure. What you said I cannot take casually. How can it be casual? We have the contacts. Since we are doing this business, we have people in every department. How can you get it done without connections?

A: Yes. I am just...

B: Such operation is like a supply line, you know.

...

A: Can you tell me how can I find you?

B: Do you know where the No. 307 Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is?

A: No problem. I can find it. Where specifically within the No. 307 Hospital?

B: You don't need to go to the in-patient Department, just show up at the entrance of the hospital.

A: OK.

B: Do you know where the No. 307 Hospital is located?

A: Yeah. Since we never met before, we should have a contact sign.

B: Don't worry about it. When you arrive at the hospital entrance, call me. I will be upstairs, so I can spot you. I can recognize you when you show up.

FDI: Two More Falun Gong Practitioners Killed Before the Olympics 

NEW YORK (FDI)"    Not far from the sailing competition, Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured to death.

Ms. Liu Xiumei

Ms. Liu Xiumei - According to sources in Shandong province's Zhucheng city, local police escalated the persecution of Falun Gong adherents in the months before the Olympics. State-supervised neighborhood watch groups have been forced to closely monitor Falun Gong practitioners. Local officials must submit daily reports about each practitioner under surveillance and search after any practitioners who have disappeared.

Over 8,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been arrested in roundups during the months leading up to the Olympics (article).

In July 10,  police station chief Ding Bofeng searched Ms. Liu Xiumei's home in Guanzhuandian village without providing any legal documents, sources say. Ms. Liu was detained and held in the Zhucheng City Detention Center.

When Liu's family went to the Zhucheng City Police Department to inquire about her situation, they were told she was fine and would be released in a few days. But, on July 27, Liu's husband received notification that his wife had died in detention - only 17 days after her arrest.

Liu's body is being stored in the Zhucheng City Funeral Home. Details surrounding her death have not yet been confirmed.

Mr. Zhong Zhenfu, 58 - At approximately 6:00 p.m. on May 4, 2008, policemen and officers from Pingdu city's 6-10 Office (about 6-10 Office)  began searching Falun Gong practitioners' houses. Police believed these were hideouts where practitioners were producing leaflets and VCDs about human rights abuses. They confiscated books, printers, satellite dishes and other electronic equipment.

Without warrant, the officers arrested three practitioners - Ms. Xu Aifang, Mr. Wang Yunchong and Mr. Zhong Zhenfu. That night, the practitioners' arms and legs were strapped to "iron chairs" and they were interrogated.

Sources inside China say that after three days the practitioners were taken to the Pingdu City Detention Center, where guards shackled Mr. Zhong and beat his head with metal wires. He was then detained in a metal cage. When the guards tried to force him to curse at the founder of Falun Gong Mr. Zhong refused. He was then beaten for an hour with metal wires. When the guards finally stopped, Mr. Zhong was injured to the point that he was unable to stand.

Sources reported that the guards then sent Mr. Zhong to a hospital, where a doctor said his injuries were very severe. To avoid assuming any responsibility for his critical condition, detention center officials released him on medical parole. During the month-plus period that Mr. Zhong was in the hospital, he had to pay for his own medical expenses, totaling over 10,000 yuan ($1,500 US).

Unable to recover from the torture, Mr. Zhong died on July 20, 2008, exactly nine years after the persecution of Falun Gong began.

Mr. Zhong Zhenfu's background: Mr. Zhong and his wife, Zhong Shuhua (56), lived in Zhongjia village, Changle town, Pingdu city in Shandong province. They began practicing Falun Gong in 1997. But after 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party began a nationwide campaign of persecution targeting Falun Gong practitioners, the couple was repeatedly arrested. Without ever showing a warrant, police searched their home over 50 times and confiscated thousands of dollars worth of possessions. In 2004, when Mrs. Zhong was sentenced to three years in a labor camp, Mr. Zhong fled his home to avoid further arrest. 

"We call upon the international community, while they are in China for the Olympics, to use every resource available to investigate the facts for themselves," says Falun Dafa Information Center spokesperson Ms. Gail Rachlin. "This persecution must end."

FDI Urgent Appeal: Retired Professor Arrested in Pre-Olympic Purge for Printing Underground Newsletters

New York--As Olympic sailing competitions continue in Qingdao, a retired professor and his wife face imminent sentencing in nearby Jinan for practicing Falun Gong and printing underground leaflets. Official documents obtained by the Falun Dafa Information Center (FDIC) corroborate the detention of the elderly couple, who remain at risk of severe abuse in custody.

Mr. Zhang Xingwu, a 67-year-old retired physics professor at Jinan Normal University, and his wife, Ms. Pinjie Liu were arrested from their home on July 16, 2008.

"More than twenty policemen broke into my parents' home in Shandong province, ransacked the house, [took] computer equipment and large amounts of money, and abducted my parents," says Zhang Shuangying, a nurse residing in New York.

"My mother had a stroke in custody that night, which paralyzed the left side of her body, so they released her the next day. But she was abducted again on August 6. Now she and my father both face prison sentences because they practice Falun Gong and had printed underground newsletters about it."

According to Zhang, Ms. Liu was released only after her son paid the police 10,000 yuan (approximately $1,500). The Falun Dafa Information Center has obtained a copy of the release notice he received at the time, which mentions the payment.

Two other documents obtained by the Center, complete with the official stamp of the local security agency, further confirm the couple's arrest. According to one document, Mr. Zhang faces charges of "using a heretical organization to undermine implementation of the law," a vague provision of the criminal code commonly used to sentence Falun Gong adherents to prison terms of up to 12 years.

The elderly couple has practiced Falun Gong since 1995 and have been repeatedly detained since the discipline was banned in 1999. From 2001 to 2004, Mr. Zhang spent three years at Jinan Liuchangshan "re-education through labor" (RTL) camp, while Ms. Liu was at Jinan Women's RTL camp for the same period.

During these previous periods in police custody, the two elderly adherents suffered sleep deprivation, beatings, electric baton shocks, and other forms of torture. Since their most recent detention, family members have been denied access to see them, raising serious concerns that they are again being abused.

Taking advantage of his technological savvy and as part of a nationwide grassroots movement, in recent years, Mr. Zhang operated a site for printing underground newsletters and VCDs from his home. The newsletters included the Minghui Weekly, a collection of articles on Falun Gong and rights abuses committed against its adherents. Also printed were copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, an editorial series published by the overseas Chinese-language Epoch Times newspaper. The series is a critical analysis of the Communist Party's history ruling China with detailed information on Falun Gong, as well as previous political campaigns, from the 1957 anti-rightist movement to the 1989 massacre. According to a 2005 study by Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, websites featuring the Nine Commentaries are one of the most pervasively blocked in China.

As a result of Zhang's efforts to disseminate such sensitive information, the local police--who often face punishment or demotion when underground materials are distributed in their area--reportedly viewed him as a key target for arrest in the pre-Olympic purge. According to his daughter, six other local Falun Gong adherents who had distributed materials he prepared were also arrested recently, increasing Zhang's risk of receiving a long sentence.

According to the Falun Dafa Information Center, since December 2007, over 8,000 Falun Gong adherents have been detained across China. In Beijing alone, at least 200 have been arrested and over 30 sentenced without trial to "re-education through labor" camps for up to 2.5 years, marking the worst escalation of the campaign against the group in years.

The FDIC is calling for:

• Zhang Xingwu and Liu Pingjie's immediate and unconditional release, as they have been detained solely for the peaceful exercise of their fundamental rights to freedom of belief and expression. These rights are enshrined in Articles 35 and 36 of the Chinese Constitution and China's commitments under international law.
• The international community to pressure the Chinese authorities to release Zhang and Liu.
• Foreign media in China to investigate Zhang and Liu's case and seek to attend their trial should it take place. Their daughter Zhang Shuangying, currently living in New York, is available for interview.
