Investigation Leads: Director of Organ Transplant Research Institute at Xi'an Jiaotong University Suspected of Performing Illegal Kidney Transplants (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) After the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners were exposed, the Falun Dafa Association and the Minghui/Clearwisdom website launched the "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong" (CIPFG) on April 4, 2006, and started to collect evidence on a large scale. Below is some recently received evidence. We hope that people who know the truth will continue to help us to expose the persecution of Falun Gong in labor camps, prisons, and hospitals throughout China, so that these atrocities can be stopped.

He is also Deputy Director of the First Hospital of the Xi'an Jiaotong University, Director of the Kidney Disease Center and its Kidney Transplant Division, and Director of the Kidney Transplant Center of Shanxi Province.

Based on his resume, when it comes to the CCP's crime of removing organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, Xue is both an advocate and an executor. Xue has performed more than 1,750 kidney transplants since 1999, the year the CCP began to persecute Falun Gong.

Investigation Lead: Doctors at the Fifth People's Hospital of Zhengzhou City Performed over 40 Kidney Transplants in Just Over a Month

According to our source, doctors at the Fifth People's Hospital in Zhengzhou City have performed over 40 kidney transplants since January 1, 2007. All of the surgeries were performed at night. A specific person was assigned to find donors. How could doctors in a municipal hospital perform so many surgeries in just over a month, and where did all the donors come from?

Investigation Lead: The Source of Organs in The Third People's Hospital of Nantong City in Jiangsu Province is Unknown

There have been media reports that over 20 liver transplants were performed in the Third People's Hospital of Nantong City in Jiangsu Province. During one of their meetings with the department of health, staff from that hospital claimed that they had performed 139 liver transplants. The sources for the livers for so many kidney transplants is not known at this time. This is highly suspicious and we will investigate further.

Investigation Lead: The CCP Removes Organs from a Living Man in His 20s

One of our sources told us that a month ago the Affiliated Hospital of Renmin University of China in Beijing performed three liver transplants and eight kidney transplants in the same operating theater and on the same day. One of the livers was donated be a young man in his 20s. The doctor who performed the surgeries called these live organ providers "prisoners." According to our source, these patients were transferred to the Affiliated Hospital of Renmin Hospital of China from the 302 Hospital in Beijing. The cost of having a live organ transplant is about 65,000 yuan (around US$8,200.) Some patients lived in rented houses near the hospital so they could return to the hospital for routine check-ups.

Investigation Lead: All Prisoners at Liaoning Province Women's Prison Had Their Blood Drawn in 2005

In June 2005, all prisoners at Liaoning Province Women's Prison had their blood drawn. The entire process was strictly monitored by all guards in the prison. No one was allowed to cut in the line and everyone needed to remember her own number. The prison claimed that this was for a physical checkup. Blood was drawn from the ear and vein. Two practitioners refused to have their blood drawn, but were forced to do so. The results of the "blood tests" were not shared with the prisoners. It wasn't to check for contagious diseases. We didn't know about the live organ removal when we were in that prison, because our family visits were monitored by two prison guards. Since we have left the prison, we now know why everyone in that prison had their blood drawn.
