This report nicely
outlines the operational history of the organ recovery program and how it
naturally descended into thinly veiled criminal exploitation of coercive power
of the communist hierarchy.
At this point the story
is pretty clear with plenty of witness stepping up and getting the message
out. The present problem is just how can
the communist party even end these practices today. Science and time will solve the problem but
the actual need for dead bodies will be with us for a few years yet and this
market will draw criminal solutions.
India has a real problem there.
At this point it is a stick
to beat the Chinese Communist Party.
Judge Says: As Early as
1980s, Organs Were Harvested in China
By Matthew
Robertson, Epoch Times | July 5, 2013
A
retired judge from the city of Wuhan, in central China, told the
Chinese-language broadcaster New Tang Dynasty Television on July 4 that over
30 years ago the security organs of the Chinese Communist Party began to
extract the organs from executed prisoners for transplant.
The
interview with NTD is
unusual in that the judge, Pan Renqiang, formerly of the Wuhan No. 1 Criminal
Court, gives his full name and former position, and is still inside China. His
granting the interview is also a sign that people in China are gaining news and
awareness of the organ harvesting carried out by the CCP’s security and
military-medical apparatus, a subject that is tightly censored.
“In
1983, the CCP’s Political and Legislative Affairs Committee sent down a notice
to the Ministry of Health, setting the precedent,” Pan said. The PLAC is the
high-level Communist Party committee that oversees all law enforcement organs
in China, including the police, labor camps, secret police, etc. “It said that
all the public security authorities were to cooperate with health officials in
removing the organs of death row prisoners.”
Pan
continued: “I profited from, participated in, and witnessed it.”
He
also explained the process by which organs are harvested from executed
prisoners. Detailed and precise information about this is often difficult to
obtain, given that the participants are usually public security officials or
were the victims who had their organs extracted. Pan indicates that judicial
authorities would know ahead of time whose organs were to be removed.
“After
the prisoner has been sentenced to death, but before the sentence has been
carried out, we give the prisoner an injection in the bottom, to prevent
their blood from coagulating, and do whatever else the doctor required. The
forensic office would deal with the operational side; a doctor would drive an
ambulance to the site, and at the execution site remove the organs.”
The
body was then incinerated.
“Public
security authorities would send a few dozen police to the crematorium to watch
over the process,” Pan said.
According
to experts, toward the end of the 1990s Chinese security forces began to
experiment with Uyghur prisoners of conscience as a source of transplant organs.
Years later, they began to extensively exploit another source: practitioners of
Falun Gong, a spiritual practice that the Party launched a persecution against
in 1999. By the early years of the new millennium practitioners in labor
camps and prisons were being killed for their organs, according to investigative
reports. They soon became the largest source of organs, according to those reports.
Judge
Pan spoke to NTD just days after he declared that he officially quit the
Chinese Communist Party, in a lengthy interview with Sound
of Hope Radio where he laid out his decades of grievances with the
regime and what he called his deeply unjust treatment at the hands of corrupt
officials and real estate developers.
From
1997 to 2002, he spent five years in prison, due to what he said was a
frame-up. “I would have died in 1996 if I didn’t get rushed to the
hospital,” he said. “So I’m no longer scared of death.”
Pan
said he joined the Party at age 17. “This Party is a corrupt dictatorship that
has lost the public’s trust. It oppresses the people and infringes on their
rights. Everyone hates it. Now, more and more people in China really detest the
Communist Party,” he said in the interview.
