世界網絡日報：中共訂單摘取器官行徑曝光

喬高與加拿大法輪功學員李訊和周露西在一個集會中呼籲關注對信仰團體民眾的人權侵犯問題來自國際人權律師大衛•麥塔斯及前加拿大亞太司司長大衛•喬高的這份報告剛剛發表，更新了關於這個億元移植工業的報告。

喬高說，「我們已經和許多接受器官的人，和逃出[中國]的人談過。我們和一位女士交談，她曾被毆打得很嚴重，聽到醫生說她會死了，那她的器官就不好用了。我們看了提供器官的網站。我們認為對任何一個公正或理智的人而言，我們現在已經擁有了壓倒性的證據。」

他說，「每一證據都指向同一個方向，都是證明（中共）有罪」。

網站以美元為單位公布了價錢，十五萬美元一個腎或胰臟，十五萬到十七萬美元一個肺臟，以及十三萬美元一個心臟，而且這些網站提示等待肝臟的最長時間是兩個星期，而在大卑詩省等待時間為五十二個星期。

報告說，「廣告中異常短暫的等待匹配器官的時間表明存在一個龐大的活體庫」。

最令人震驚的證據來自幾個逃離這個工業的人。一位婦女作證，她的丈夫，一位外科醫生，曾摘取二千人的眼角膜，摘取時那些人還活著。接著他們被其它外科醫生摘去另外的器官，然後身體被火化。

報告已做出結論，活摘器官暴行的程度超過希特勒試圖消滅猶太人和其他人群的所為。

喬高說，「這到了人類能夠想像的極限，一些人會說超過了想像的極限。我們避免直接比較，因為納粹也沒有這樣幹過」。

喬高把這稱為「食肉資本主義」，除了金錢，無所顧忌。報告列出新證據表明醫院告訴潛在接受器官移植者，他們有活器官等著，而且過去幾年裡已經做了數萬個器官移植。

中國的人權記錄是可怖的，報告說，其共產政權造成的死亡人數超過了希特勒和史達林所導致的死亡總和。中共政權經常侵犯基督徒、民主活動家，人權提倡者及其他人的權利，包括使用拘留，酷刑和處決等手段。

但這個正在形成的工業的目標目前主要是法輪功團體。

但在一個只有官方決定什麼可以被允許的社會氛圍中，這個國家的移植工業已經在爆炸式的發展，因為經營和銷售「國家的敵人」的器官是沒有障礙的。

麥塔斯在最近的新聞發布會上告訴記者，「一旦顧客進入中國，有人就被殺害以摘取器官，不論這人是死刑犯或是一位法輪功學員，而且他們在獄中有龐大的人群等待被殺取器官」。

一九九九年前肝移植只有二十二例，僅去年就成倍升到五百例［編註：目前中國每年的肝移植案例上千。一九九九年以前的總數量不到一千例］。而且當中共承認「摘取」因經濟罪而被處死的犯人器官時，這樣的處決次數許多年來一直保持一千六到一千七。然而，當報告公布時，已經表明在中國一九九九年前約有三萬個移植手術，而到二零零五年底，數字飛速升至九萬個。

二零零零年到二零零五年間的六萬個器官移植手術，每一個都需要一個供體，而且從歷史上看，在中國很少有人在活著的時候捐獻器官。

「近年來在這些方面沒有跡象表明有顯著的增加。報告說，在一九九四到一九九九年間所做的一萬八千五百例移植應該和二零零零年到二零零五年做的數量相同。這意味著二零零零到二零零五這六年裡的四萬一千五百個移植的器官來歷不明」。

證據的一部份來自一位向作者作證的自願者，該自願者打電話給中國的八十所醫院，詢問器官移植。有十家承認使用「活著的」法輪功學員作為器官來源。

一個醫院官員被問及用於移植的器官。「……來自健康的法輪功學員嗎？」

「是的。我們會選擇健康的，因為我們保證我們的手術質量」，那個官員說。

「是說你自己挑選器官？」
「是的……」。

「器官提供者一般有多大歲數？」
「一般是三十歲」。

「如果被選定的人不讓抽血怎麼辦？」
「他肯定會讓我們抽血」。

「怎樣辦到的呢？」
「他們肯定會有辦法。你擔心什麼呢？你不應顧慮這樣的事。他們有他們的程序」。

「那個人知道他的器官會被摘取嗎？」
「不知道」。

喬高告訴世界網絡日報，該報告揭示可能數以萬計的法輪功學員被關在拘留所，在他們活著時，他們為出口組裝產品。但他們定期被驗血以及接受各種體檢。

接著電腦匹配好了器官。喬高說：「他或她的日子到了，有人在上海醫院等著，那天你會死去。病人帶著一個新的腎飛回了美國」。

病人們被例行公事的告知他們從自願捐獻的被處死的犯人身上得到器官。對「被處死的犯人」的描述，技術上是真的，他說，但實際是「犯人們」從沒有犯罪或被判有罪。

這份報告建議世界其它地方施以援手，禁止病人去中國做移植手術，在那裡器官供體或其家庭都沒有同意捐出器官，停止投資在外國做商業移植手術的病人的術後服務，停止培訓回中國並涉入移植工業的醫生，並禁止賣給中國抗排斥藥物及其它移植所必需的物品。

他們在報告中說，「我們相信一直有大規模攫取非自願法輪功學員的器官，而且今天仍在繼續」。

FAITH UNDER FIRE
Exposed! China's organ-on-demand transplants
'Bloody Harvest' says prisoners kept healthy until paying customer arrives

David Kilgour with Xun Li and Lucy Zhou during a rally to call attention to Chinese human rights abuses against religious sect practitioners

A new report called "Bloody Harvest" documents China's "anything goes" transplant industry where a cornea is available to anyone with $30,000 and people are kept as prisoners until their organs are needed, when they are executed by a doctor's needle just as soon as the cash hits the hospital accounting office.

The report from David Matas, an international human rights lawyer, and David Kilgour, the former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific, was just released and updates previous documents alleging the existence of the billion dollar industry.

The new report, taken cumulatively, provides the proof, Kilgour told WND.

"We've talked to a lot of people who received organs, people who managed to get out [of China] by the skin of their teeth. We talked to a lady beaten up so badly she heard a doctor say she was going to die and her organs would be no good. We've looked at the web sites offering organs. We think we now have overwhelming evidence for any fair-minded or reasonable person," he said.

"Every single item points in the same direction, and nothing points in the direction of innocence," he said.

Web sites have posted prices, in U.S. dollars, of $150,000 for a kidney or pancreas, $150,000-$170,000 for a lung, and $130,000-$160,000 for a heart, and those same sites suggest the maximum wait for a liver available for transplant would be two weeks, although the same wait period in British Columbia was 52 months.

"The astonishingly short waiting times advertised for perfectly-matched organs would suggest the existence of a large bank of live prospective 'donors,'" the report said.

Some of the most damning evidence came from several individuals who have fled the industry. One woman testified her husband, a surgeon, had removed the corneas from an estimated 2,000 people who, at that point, still were alive. But they then were operated on by other surgeons to remove other organs, and the bodies then cremated.

The money trail was tracked from the patients to the hospital, but it remained unclear whether the hospital, the government, or the surgeons were benefiting the most, the report said. But it concluded that the magnitude of the atrocities goes beyond even what Hitler pursued in his attempt to eradicate Jews and other groups of people, he said.

"This is just about at the limit of the human imagination, some people would say it's beyond. We avoid direct comparisons, because it really is unique. Even the Nazis didn't try to do this," he said.

He characterizes it as "carnivore capitalism" where nothing matters but the money. The report lists new evidence showing that hospitals are telling potential transplant recipients that they have live organs awaiting delivery and there have been tens of thousands of transplant surgeries performed in the past few years – with no other available source of organs.

China's human rights record is atrocious, the report said, with more deaths attributable to its Communist government than to Stalin and Hitler combined. The nation routinely violates the rights of Christians, democracy advocates, human rights advocates and others, including using detention, torture and execution.

But the targets for the burgeoning industry at this point are mostly members of a religious sect called Falun Gong. That's a belief system that was assembled in the early 1990s by Li Hongzhi and incorporates ideas from Buddhism and Taoism. It's generally seen as a peaceful movement, but China government officials have labeled it a dangerous cult and banned it.

But in a social atmosphere that tolerates only what officials decide they want to allow, there is no accountability for hospitals or physicians who are constantly short of funding, and there is zero tolerance for dissent, the nation's transplant industry has exploded because there has been no barrier to marketing – and selling – the organs of "enemies of the state."

"Once a customer arrives into China, somebody's killed for the organ, whether it's a prisoner sentenced to death or a Falun Gong practitioner, and they just have this huge supply of people in jail waiting to be killed for organ donations," Matas told reporters at a recent news conference.

Liver transplants, counted at only 22 before 1999, multiplied to 500 just last year. And while China has admitted "harvesting" the organs of inmates executed for capital crimes, the number of those executions has remained about the same – in the 1,600 to 1,700 range – for a number of years. However, while reports that are available to the public show there were about 30,000 transplant surgeries in China prior to 1999, that total rocketed to 90,000 by the end of 2005.

Those 60,000 organ transplant surgeries during the years 2000-2005 each needed a donor organ, and historically in China the numbers show only a fraction of all transplants are provided by living donors, such as in kidney cases, or a body made available voluntarily following a traffic accident or other circumstances.

"There is no indication of a significant increase in ? these categories in recent years. Presumably, the identified sources of organ transplants which produced 18,500 organ transplants in the six-year period 1994 to 1999 produced the same number of organs for transplants in the next six-year period 2000 to 2005," the report said.

"That means that the source of 41,500 transplants for the six-year period 2000 to 2005 is unexplained," the report said.

Some of the explanation comes from a volunteer who testified to the authors about calling 80 hospitals in China, asking about transplants. Ten locations admitted using "live" Falun Gong practitioners as organ suppliers.

One hospital official was asked about the organs for transplant. "?And it was from healthy Falun Gong practitioners??"

"Correct. We would choose the good ones because we assure the quality in our operation," the hospital official said.

"That means you choose the organs yourself?"

"Correct?"

"Usually, how old is the organ supplier?"

"Usually in their thirties."

"What if the chosen one doesn't want to have blood drawn?"

"He will for sure let us do it."

"How?"

"They will for sure find a way. What do you worry about? These kinds of things should not be of any concern to you. They have their procedures."

"Does the person know that his organ will be removed?"

"No."

The researchers, both from Canada, noted that there is no doubt Canadians are taking part in "organ tourism," which is traveling to China for a transplant. Confirmations have come in from hospitals in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary that such trips were taking place.

Patients from the United States and other affluent countries, also, undoubtedly, are taking part in the industry, the report noted.

Kilgour told WND that the report reveals that Falun Gong practitioners, probably tens of thousands, are held in detention camps while, during their lives, they assemble products for export. But they are blood-typed and given various tests regularly.

Then there's a computer matchup of tissue. "His or her day comes up, somebody's waiting in a hospital in Shanghai, and you can die that day. The patient flies back to America with a new kidney," he said.

Patients routinely are told they are getting organs from executed prisoners who volunteered for the donation. The description of "executed prisoner," technically, is true, he said, but the caveat is that the "prisoners" never commited – or were convicted – of any crime.

The report suggests the rest of the world could help by preventing patients from traveling to China for a transplant where neither the donor nor the family have consented, stopping funding for after-care for patients who have commercial transplants abroad, stop training of doctors who will return to China and join the transplant industry and ban shipping anti-rejection drugs and other necessities for transplants to China.

"We believe that there has been and continues today to be large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners," they said in the report.

Kilgour earlier told the Epoch Times that the 2008 Olympic Games, awarded by the International Olympic Committee to China, also should be used as a lever to stop the activity

Chinese officials have admitted "harvesting" organs from "executed prisoners," but that admission did not come until 2005, and the report authors say it might have been made to divert attention away from the industry of killing innocent sect members for their organs.

The authors said the report on the study, which was done at the request of the Coalition to Investigation the Persecution of the Falun Gong in China, a non-governmental organization in Washington and Ottawa, also is available at www.organharvestinvestigation.net.
