Experts Respond to Sujiatun

Dr. Tom Diflo, Director of Kidney Transplantation at NYU Medical Center

Informed individuals comment on the shocking revelation of the Sujiatun Death Camp, where 6000 Falun Gong practitioners were held as a a sort of living stockpile for the Chinese communist regime's profitasble organ-transplant trade. 4000 have had their organs harvested for sale; the remaining 2000 await the same grim fate in no outside force intervenes.

Nina Shea, Freedom House: "In light of Harry Wu's past reports on organ harvesting from executed prisoners in China, this story must be taken seriously and investigated."

Dr. Tom Diflo, Director of Kidney Transplantation at NYU Medical Center: "Knowing what I know about the Chinese government, it would not surprise me if they were suppressing that information, and if they're pulling organs out of people. I'm sure they don't want anyone to know about it… The non-consensual taking of organs out of people is perhaps the greatest violation of their human rights that I can think of."

"Speak up loudly to condemn such brutality rather than keep quiet for commercial or political gains." - Lord Avebury

Lord Avebury, Vice Chairman and founder of the U.K. Parliamentary Human Rights Group: "It is shocking to hear the allegation that a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang, China, has detained over 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners, and it has been engaged in the harvesting of human organs from those imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners. This practice of murdering people who peacefully exercise their freedom of belief and expression, and selling their organs for profit, if true, is the most barbarous and inhuman behaviour; totally unacceptable in today's world." He called on the international community and the U.K. government to further investigate the allegations and to "speak up loudly to condemn such brutality rather than keep quiet for commercial or political gains."

Dr. Charles Lee

Dr. Charles Lee, a U.S. citizen who had been tortured and illegally detained in China for three years because he practices Falun Gong: "It's horrifying and I believe it's true because...from my experience, the Communist Party can do anything to Chinese people inside China." Dr. Lee was once a medical doctor in China. He said that in 1990, before Falun Gong had even been taught in public, he was required to perform organ removal operations on criminals on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. He and a group doctors were taken to an execution ground and told to remove organs, especially the heart, immediately after the people were shot in the head. "In China the organ trade is very popular and very profitable."
