  • "We call it a new form of evil in the world. It's never been done by any government in

  • the past, to take a large group of its own people and say, 'We're going to kill you,

  • without any kind of a trial, and we are going to sell your vital organ parts.'"

  • "An individual from the United States or Canada, for example, could anticipate undergoing

  • transplantation on a specified date."

  • "It's a crime against humanity. It's abhorrent and it needs to stop."

  • Killed for Organs: China's Secret State Transplant Business

  • "If you're going to go to China and you're going to get a liver transplant during the three weeks you are there,

  • then that means someone is going to go schedule an execution, blood type and tissue type the potential executee,

  • and have them ready to go before you need to leave."

  • "Starting at the end of 1999 the number of transplants taking place just exploded."

  • China carries out more organ transplant surgeries than any country besides the United States.

  • But unlike other countries, China has no effective organ donation program. That's because culturally,

  • Chinese people believe the body must stay intact even after death.

  • China's Deputy Minister of Health, Huang Jiefu, has suggested that there are

  • 7,000 transplants every year from the deceased.

  • And that more than 90% come from executed prisoners.

  • The number of criminal executions in China is classified as a state secret,

  • but Amnesty International's estimate is about 1,700.

  • "The numbers just didn't add up. There is just too large of a discrepancy there."

  • With only 1,700 executed criminals and no effective donation system,

  • where do the rest of the organs come from?

  • Zhao Shuhuan was put in a Chinese labor camp because she practices Falun Gong.

  • "Every labor camp I went to, they would give us a physical exam.

  • They would take our blood and test it.

  • Every labor camp did the same thing."

  • "We estimate that in the period between 2000 and 2005, there were 41,500 transplants

  • which have no other explained source."

  • "I am absolutely convinced that over a long period from 1999 onwards,

  • organ harvesting from prisoners has been taking place, especially of Falun Gong."

  • "The policewoman took us the hospital affiliated with the Masanjia Labor Camp,

  • and I understood they were testing our urine and our blood for liver function."

  • "Doctors would come into the camps. They would look in their eyes, they would examine

  • their organs with ultrasound and the like, and they were the only people in these camps

  • who were medically examined thoroughly."

  • In 2006, two Canadians, international human rights lawyer David Matas and

  • former Secretary of State for Asia Pacific David Kilgour started to investigate allegations

  • of forced organ harvesting in China.

  • They found at least 52 points of circumstantial evidence, including websites of Chinese hospitals

  • offering matching organs in less than a week.

  • "It's just not possible unless you have an unlimited source of organs. And these are

  • people who are alive. We are talking about live donors. The actual transplant surgery

  • itself was the form of execution. These were living people that were killed for their organs."

  • "It makes you think of some grotesque restaurant, where you go in and you pick your lobster

  • in a tank. But these are human beings we're talking about."

  • "The military is making money off of it, the hospitals are making money off of it,

  • the middlemen are making money off of it. And we talk about money; we're talking about

  • a multi-million dollar operation."

  • Journalist and author Ethan Gutmann decided to carry out his own independent investigation.

  • "We had witnesses of disappearances, people who had been examined and had disappeared,

  • busloads, entire prison wards which had been emptied out.

  • The signs began to look like something much, much bigger."

  • Like Tibetans and house Christians, millions of Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted

  • in China for their beliefs. In 1999, Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin issued orders to

  • "Break them financially, ruin their reputations, and destroy them physically."

  • Since then, thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have disappeared without a trace.

  • "What happened to the [people who] disappeared? As far as we know, they are still there in

  • these camps and many of them have been killed through organ harvesting,

  • but the rest are still there. And they're the organ data bank for China."

  • "Around 1999, there were around 150 transplant centers. Six or seven years later they had

  • 600 transplantation centers. This is an increase of 300% within such a short period of time

  • without an organ donation program."

  • "Military hospitals get watched in China. There's nothing they can do without the

  • Party Central taking note of what they're doing. Was this run by triads? No.

  • This was run by the state. This was murder and it came from the state."

  • "This is a crime against humanity. We should do our best to identify those specific individuals

  • who are engaged in this, and put them on the list

  • of people who deserve to be brought to justice."

  • "In 2006 when this came out and we realized that they were killing prisoners of conscience

  • for their organs, it was doctors that took the front line in trying to stop this."

  • "Every day, there are a dozen people that are executed or killed for organs in China.

  • So we have to bring out the message. We have to inform medical doctors to stop this practice."

  • But it's not only the medical community that's getting informed. The US State Department

  • mentioned allegations of forced organ harvesting in its annual human rights report on China

  • in 2011 for the first time.

  • On October 3rd, 106 U.S. Congressional representatives signed this bipartisan "Dear Colleague" letter

  • to the State Department, demanding they reveal information on organ harvesting

  • that they may have obtained from their sources in China.

  • "This barbaric human rights abuse must be stopped,

  • but to stop it we first have to further expose it."

  • And with even more petitions circulating online, the issue is starting to get worldwide attention.

  • But more needs to be done.

"We call it a new form of evil in the world. It's never been done by any government in
