• Organ Transplant Investigation: Zhongshan Hospital Carried Out 1000 Living-Donor Liver Transplants in 10 Years, and other Leads

  2012-04-10
  On August 1st, 2011, Xuhui Newspaper published a report: From 2001 to August 1st, 2011, in ten years, Zhongshan Hospital's liver surgery section performed 1000 living-donor liver transplants. The source of the organs used in Zhongshan Hospital's liver transplants is suspicious. It is known that the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was most rampant in 2001. Under the regime's genocidal policy where “beating to death counts as suicide and the bodies are directly cremated without informing family members”, police and doctors nationwide were enticed to perform live organ harvesting for huge profits. As more evidence of the regime's live harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners is exposed, further investigations will be conducted on each case of live organ harvesting.
