Buddhist concentration camps exposed in China

New Witness Tells of 36 China Concentration Camps, Falun Gong Bodies Used as “Raw Materials” for Profiteering

The Falun Dafa Information Center has received information from a third witness professing first-hand knowledge of concentration camps throughout China holding Falun Gong adherents, who are killed for their organs and cremated, with victims sometimes still alive. The source, who spoke with The Epoch Times Thursday (story) on condition of anonymity, identifies himself as a veteran medical doctor who has served in the Shenyang military zone.

Exposure Prompts Surge of Killing in Chinese Hospitals, Falun Gong Bodies Carved Up for Organs

Officials Hasten to Destroy Evidence, Cash in on Concentration Camps, (4/6/2006 17:6)

NEW YORK (Falun Dafa Information Center)
Undercover investigators disclosed today that, in response to public exposure, officials in China have now begun a massive, deadly campaign to destroy evidence of concentration camps holding practitioners of Falun Gong; at the camps, the Falun Gong are killed after having their organs extracted for sale. The situation has now escalated to an even more alarming level.

The investigators said today that hospitals in at least eight Chinese provinces are working overtime to perform a flurry of surgeries, excising detainees’ organs, so as to “cash in” on the bodies of the currently-held Falun Gong prisoners of conscience. Post operation, victims are to be killed and bodies cremated, or moved to other, hidden locations.

The organ “harvesting” spree appears directly connected to recent legislation in China, titled “Interim Regulation for Human Organ Transplant Practice,” announced March 28, by China’s Ministry of Health, that would in theory outlaw forced organ removal. The legislation will not go into effect until July 1—giving profit-bent officials a three-month window for wanton seizure of organs. The new legislation, the Center notes, closely followed disclosures of one such concentration camp for Falun Gong, in the Sujiatun district of Shenyang City, on March 6 (news). In the past China took no such measures, even after testimonial before the United States Congress detailing China’s secret organ trade.

The overall trajectory is clear: the camps are exposed; Chinese Communist officials panic, discuss what to do (for three weeks); a massive cover-up effort is launched, including blanket denials and cosmetic legislation; before the legislation takes effect a frenzy to turn bodies into profit begins.
