Sujiatun is merely one of 36 concentration camps for Falun Gong in China

I am a veteran military doctor in the logistics service in the army in Shenyang military zone. For safety's sake, I will not disclose my identity for now. The reports from outside China about Sujiatun Concentration Camp imprisoning Falun Gong practitioners are true, although some of the details are incorrect. The so-called underground Sujiatun Concentration Camp does exist. Organ harvesting is routine there. It is also a common practice to cremate dead or even living Falun Gong practitioners.
Ashes Given to Families Came from Animals or Other Bodies in the Crematorium
As many state regulations have stipulated, the top level of each provincial government has the authority to establish "recycling organizations" to process felons in the military zone under its jurisdiction. This practice is warranted by a legal document that the Chinese Communist Party's Central Military Committee established as early as 1962. This practice has never stopped to this day. According to the regulations in the document, death-penalty prisoners and felons may be processed according to the development needs of the state or of socialism. During the Great Cultural Revolution, the most extreme way to process these prisoners was to use their bodies for food. The second-most extreme way was to use them as slave labor for engineering or production work.
After a 1984 amendment, it became legal to harvest organs from felons. The police and judicial departments perform organ harvesting on living prisoners before cremating their bodies. Sometimes, they will injure the prisoners in a show execution before they perform organ harvesting on the injured prisoners. They then cremate their bodies.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The fate of Rolling Stone in China hangs in the balance weeks after the highly popular release of the first issue, as a press watchdog cited problems with the magazine's trade practices rather than controversial content.
A source with the regulatory Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau denied a report that the U.S.-based rock magazine, which quickly sold out its first print run this month of more than 100,000 copies, had been banned but said its partnership with a local publication had not been ``satisfactorily explained.''
The first edition included a cover of Cui Jian -- China's rock pioneer -- banned from performing on the mainland until recently, and Mu Zimei, a controversial blogger whose candid accounts of sexual adventures led to her site being closed down.

BEIJING Mar 27, 2006 (AP)— Chinese police last month detained a documentary filmmaker who met with an outspoken lawyer and have refused to tell his family where he is being held or on what charges, his sister said.
Wu Hao, a filmmaker based in Beijing, has apparently been in police custody in the capital since Feb. 22, his sister, Wu Na, told The Associated Press. She demanded his release and that police explain why they are holding him.
Several human rights groups, including media watchdogs the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders, also called for Wu Hao's immediate release.
Wu Hao was working on a documentary about unregistered Christian churches in China before he went missing, CPJ said.
One week after Wu Hao disappeared, officials at the Beijing Public Security Bureau told Wu Na her brother was being investigated but could not be visited by a lawyer. They also warned her not to talk to the media.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese police have detained a Chinese-born film maker who is a permanent U.S. resident, a family member said on Monday, weeks before President Hu Jintao visits the United States.
Hao Wu, who returned to China in 2004 after living in the United States for 12 years, had been missing since February 22 after interviewing human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, while making a documentary about an underground Christian congregation, his sister, Wu Na, said.
An officer at the Beijing Public Security Bureau confirmed Wu's detention last week, but declined to give a reason or say where he was being held, she said.
The petitions office of the police station reached by telephone declined to comment.
No formal charges have been laid, although Wu's sister believed the detention might be related to his contact with Gao, who has been suspended from practicing law, or possibly to outspoken comments on his personal Web log.
China routinely blocks access to Internet sites on sensitive subjects and rules introduced last year target Internet news content to tighten the noose on freewheeling bloggers and rein in a growing source of information.
``I don't think it is related to his filming of the underground Christians. I think it is related to the lawyer or being too open on his blog,'' the sister told Reuters.
Wu's apartment was raided and filming equipment, video tapes, computer, personal diary and other effects taken away, the sister said. Police interrogated Wu's house-mate days later.
The sister said Wu had phoned her three times since his disappearance and sounded depressed during the last call.
``I'm very worried about his emotional state,'' the sister said, adding that police told her to return to Shanghai. Wu did not say why he was being held.
Wu did not want a lawyer and appeared unable to speak freely, the Paris-based press watchdog Reporters Without Borders said.
``I feel very sad because I cannot get any news right now,'' she said. ``I don't know what will happen to him next.''

The world was shocked by the exposure of live organ harvesting being done on Falun Gong practitioners at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City. This may be one of the cruelest tragedies in the history of humanity. Western society has very strict medical requirements and standards regarding organ transplants. In addition, there is a universal medical standard. Many people cannot imagine or believe that it is really happening in China.
International society has a constant shortage of organs for transplant, especially kidneys since they only keep 24 to 48 hours out of the body. Normally patients are listed on computer waiting lists for kidneys to become available that are a match for their body tissue. If the tissue match is not good, the body may reject the new kidney. The wait is usually a number of years. Some people question that even if so many live Falun Gong practitioners' organs are being taken at Sujiatun, the hospitals in Shenyang that are qualified to do kidney transplant operations are limited. The Chinese and Western Medicine Thrombus Treatment Center in Liaoning Province is only a second class hospital. Are they able to do these operations?
The question is raised whether private kidney transplants and other organ transplants are being done in hospitals in Mainland China that are not qualified to do them. International media has reported that a large number of people from overseas have been traveling to Mainland China specifically for organ transplant operations. The greatest benefit offered is the short waiting time of patients for an organ match, with the shortest waiting time of only two weeks. Currently, there are advertisements in Japan and Southeast Asia about quick kidney transplants in Mainland China.
Large numbers of mainland officials, businessmen, famous actors/actresses, other famous and wealthy people are receiving kidney transplants quickly in Mainland China. Expert medical analysts state that it is very likely that China is warehousing kidney organs from live bodies. It is not possible for so many to be available otherwise.

Imports of illegally felled timber into China is destroying some of the world's forests, according to Forest Trends.
Western consumers also play a major role, the Washington based non-profit group says.
China is importing raw wood to turn it into cheap furnture, plywood and other processed products, 70% of which which it exports to rich country markets.
The report says this leads to depletion of the world's forests with devastating social and environmental consequences.
Editorial - The New York Times - March 24, 2006
As China moves ahead steadily in the global marketplace, its ultimate success will depend not just on its buying power. Among other things, China must have a free press and a judicial system based on the rule of law rather than political power. One highly public test of both will be whether the Chinese authorities release Zhao Yan, who has been in jail for nearly 18 months on specious charges that he revealed state secrets to The New York Times.
Last week, the authorities appeared to withdraw the charges against Mr. Zhao, who is a researcher for the Times staff in China. But instead of releasing him quickly, as should have been the case, the Chinese government has been sending distressingly mixed signals about the status of Mr. Zhao. And he remains languishing in a Beijing jail.
Mr. Zhao, 44, is a seasoned journalist who was well known for covering rural issues before he joined the Times bureau in April 2004. He was arrested shortly after The Times published an article in September of that year predicting, correctly, that the former president, Jiang Zemin, would retire from his last official post.
The release of such information should not be a reason to jail any journalist anywhere, of course. But in any case, Mr. Zhao has denied that he gave the story to his colleagues, and Times editors have repeatedly assured the Chinese authorities that Mr. Zhao was not a source for the information about Mr. Jiang's retirement.
Mr. Zhao is not the only journalist unjustly jailed in China, and it is fair to say that our concern is heightened by his association with The Times. But his arrest shows how China can too easily use the courts to silence any journalist who crosses some unseen line of behavior and offends some unnamed person in power. It is an example of the government's need for a scapegoat when coverage about high officials or the Communist Party does not turn out as the leadership would have scripted it.
The United States authorities have taken up Mr. Zhao's cause. Most recently, the United States Embassy in Bejing issued a statement reiterating that he was wrongly arrested and indicted.
By now, it should be clear to the Chinese authorities that American leaders and the international news media are not going to forget this case. Mr. Zhao's plight should remain on the agenda for President Hu Jintao's first official visit to Washington next month. A better outcome would be for China to follow up on the withdrawal of the charges against Mr. Zhao and releasing him immediately.

Reporters Without Borders wrote to President Hu Jintao today asking him to intervene on behalf of documentary filmmaker Hao Wu, who was arrested in Beijing on 22 February after attending a meeting of members of a protestant church not recognised by the government as part of the preparation of his next documentary.
Hao, who lived for more than 10 years in the United States, is a contributor to Global Voices, a bloggers association that belongs to the Reporters Without Borders network of partner organisations.
"Hao’s only crime has been to do his job as journalist in an independent manner," Reporters Without Borders said in its letter to President Hu. The organisation also called on US diplomats to raise Hao’s case with the Chinese authorities, above all as part of the preparations for Hu’s visit to the United States next month.
Hao was detained by the Beijing division of the State Security Bureau, which has officially confirmed his arrest. Two days after his arrest, police raided his home, seizing videotapes and editing equipment. He has not been charges and the authorities have not explained why they are holding him.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The wife of a Chinese AIDS activist missing for over a month said on Tuesday she was no closer to discovering his whereabouts despite repeated requests to the police and state security apparatus for information.
The 32-year-old Hu Jia went missing after going on a hunger strike with several others to protest what they said was the government's hiring of thugs to beat up civil rights campaigner Yang Maodong in the southern province of Guangdong in February.
``I've worked so hard, but there is still no news,'' Hu's wife, Zeng Jinyan, told a news conference in a Beijing hotel room. ``I have no idea what to do.''
Hu had been under house arrest on and off since January and needed permission from state security agents to even leave his home.
He went on a 24-hour hunger strike on February 6 and was placed under house arrest again on February 11, Zeng said.
Hu has been critical in the past of the government's AIDS policy and for not doing enough to help sufferers and their families.
``We thought he might be released after parliament met, but no,'' said his wife, adding that Hu had previously been beaten up by plainclothes police.

Subjects of live cornea removal are mainly the elderly or children
The Epoch Times has conducted another interview with the witness who came forward several days ago to reveal details regarding the Sujiatun concentration camp in Northeast China. In this interview the witness revealed that her ex-husband was one of the main surgeons in the concentration camp. He is a brain surgeon, and was mainly in charge of cornea removal. Because of the horrifying character of live organ removal and the burning of corpses, the witness and her family have had destructive life experiences. Every time she recalls events in Sujiatun, she endures indescribable pain.
The witness said that her ex-husband had a cell phone specifically for this type of business. No matter when and where, as soon as the cell phone rang, he would go to perform the operation. During the 2 years of working at Sujiatun, he did several cornea removal operations per day.
Her ex-husband told her that those detained in the Sujiatun concentration camp were all Falun Gong practitioners. For others, even prisoners sentenced to death, organ removals could not be done without proper paperwork and procedures. Only for Falun Gong practitioners, due to the central Communist Party policy that the deaths of practitioners are "counted as suicide," the hospital can detain and remove organs from them live without any procedures. Every surgeon knew they were Falun Gong practitioners. They were told that doing such things to Falun Gong practitioners were not crimes. Instead, they were "cleaning" for the Chinese Communist Party. Those on the operation table were either mentally destroyed or had lost consciousness. Major targets of cornea removal were the elderly and children.

Beijing, March 16, 2006
Dutch psychiatrists have determined that a prominent Chinese dissident who spent 13 years in a police-run psychiatric institution in Beijing did not have mental problems that would justify his incarceration, two human rights groups said Thursday.
The psychiatrists spent two days testing the dissident, Wang Wanxing, in Germany five months after China released him and sent him abroad. They said in a statement that their examination "did not reveal any form of mental disorder."
The report could add fuel to charges that the Chinese police use a network of psychiatric prisons to silence political dissidents, often without trial or right of appeal.
Mr. Wang, now 56, was confined to the psychiatric center after he was detained in 1992 for unfurling a banner that criticized the Communist Party.
The authorities determined that he had "delusions of grandeur, litigation mania and conspicuously enhanced pathological will," which Western human rights groups say are diagnoses that officials have used to lock up troublesome dissidents who have not broken any laws.
After his release in 2005, Mr. Wang described widespread abuses in the mental asylum, known as the Beijing Ankang. He said he had lived in cells with psychotically disturbed inmates convicted of murder and was forced to swallow drugs to blunt his will. He also said the staff members had used electrified acupuncture needles to punish patients while other inmates were made to watch.

A Chinese teacher has been jailed for 10 years for an internet essay claiming people had a right to end tyranny by violent means, a rights group said.
Ren Zhiyuan's trial, for his essay the Road to Democracy, highlighted China's mounting crackdown on dissent.
It came as subversion charges against a Chinese researcher for the New York Times, Zhao Yan, were dropped.
Analysts said the case threatened to tarnish an upcoming visit to the US by China's President Hu Jintao.
Ren Zhiyuan, 27, pleaded not guilty to charges of "subversion of state power".
His lawyer, Zhang Chengmao, said his client would appeal the sentence.
"I do know that whatever Ren Zhiyuan wrote was totally within the scope of free expression," Zhang told Reuters news agency. "He was a teacher who had his own ideas, but he never acted on those ideas."
Ren had posted an essay called "The Road to Democracy" which argued that people had the right to violently overthrow tyranny, according to the New York-based Human Rights in China.
His sentencing appeared to contradict comments by government official Liu Zhengrong last month, who said that no one had been arrested just for writing online content.

March 13, 2006
News of organ harvesting at the Sujiatun concentration camp was announced at the March 11 Nine Commentaries seminar presented by the Australian Epoch Times. Following the presentations, members of the audience reacted to the shocking news. Some questioned the reliability of the report, and the discussion focused on the Sujiatun announcement. A member of the audience confirmed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has committed the crime of taking organs from living prisoners.
Yuan Hong said that he personally knew about the CCP taking organs from prisoners. Before coming to Australia, Yuan had worked in a Shenyang hospital. Shortly after he came to Australia, he read in a newspaper that a doctor from Tianjin Armed Police Hospital had revealed in the U.S. that the CCP was selling organs. Diplomats of the Chinese communist regime denied the accusations.
However, according to Yuan, "In China, it is known by many hospital staff members that the replacement organs used by regular hospitals basically all come from prisoners. Until we came abroad, we did not even know this was immoral and was an invasion of prisoners' human rights. In China, although there were no discussions among colleagues, everyone knew about it. Most pathetically, no one thought it was a problem.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- China is refusing to take back an estimated 39,000 citizens that have been denied immigration to the United States, clogging detention centers on the taxpayer's bill, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Tuesday.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Chertoff said that China last year readmitted 800 Chinese nationals. But that made only a small dent in what he described as a backlog of thousands of Chinese who are being held by the U.S.
''The math is pretty easy -- at that rate, we wind up with increasing numbers of migrants who, if we're going to detain them, we're going to have to house at enormous expense,'' Chertoff said.
He added: ''We can't be in the position any longer where we are paying the burden and bearing the burden for countries that won't cooperate with us and take their own citizens back.''
The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately return a call for comment.

AFTER Ang Lee accepted his Oscar as best director for "Brokeback Mountain," he was hailed by fellow Chinese in Hong Kong and his native Taiwan. Here in mainland China, the government-controlled English-language daily newspaper went so far as to call him the "pride of Chinese people all over the world" and the "glory of Chinese cinematic talent."
Never mind that the fruit of that cinematic talent — a movie about gay cowboys in love — has not been and probably won't be approved for showing on the mainland. Or that Mr. Lee's Academy Award acceptance speech, though televised here, was censored by the authorities, who omitted references to gays and Taiwan.
Film is like most everything else in China: nothing comes easy. Only a few dozen foreign films a year are approved for showing here, although those that aren't are widely watched on pirated DVD's. American movies, legally or illegally obtained, are particularly popular. The official inclusion of four Hollywood blockbusters last year led to record box office figures in 2005, although the top-grossing movie was a government-financed Chinese film — watched but also ridiculed by the public.
Mr. Lee, the first filmmaker born in greater China to win the Oscar for best director, is in good company. Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, two of China's best-known actresses, are also the pride of the nation. And this year, they will suffer a similar fate at home. Their Hollywood film, "Memoirs of a Geisha," was supposed to reach cinemas here on Feb. 9.
But the film was essentially banned late in January, apparently because of concerns that showing Chinese stars playing Japanese geisha could provoke public anger at a time when anti-Japanese sentiment in China is running high; just as official China views homosexuality as deviant, the Chinese view geisha as prostitutes, and for some, the film evoked memories of the Rape of Nanking. (The Chinese ban their own movies, too, usually for anti-government themes but sometimes for sexual ones. The most famous case involved the 2001 film "Lan Yu," which, like "Brokeback Mountain," featured a long-term gay affair using straight actors and was admired by Ang Lee.)
So the biggest year in film here was also one of the oddest: the Chinese public can't see (in the cinemas, at least) films featuring the most-talked-about Chinese actors and directors who went West to make films, but they are allowed to see "King Kong" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

Look at China from a distance, and those huge new skyscrapers in places like Shanghai may dominate the view.
They symbolise rapid recent growth, glitzy cities and factories flooding the world with consumer goods.
Look beyond, however, and another China comes into focus - where hundreds of millions still live in poverty, and where a communist government struggles with the contradictions of running a capitalist economy.
Last week the Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, warned the National People's congress in Beijing of "deep-seated conflicts" and promised to spend more to ease the urban-rural divide.
Resentment and assertiveness
Oxford political scientist Steve Tsang says China is a "brittle" place.
It looks strong from the outside but "the situation can disintegrate very quickly".
The communists hope continued rapid economic growth will permit their continued hold on to power.
But they are now caught between the resentment of those left behind by the boom and the assertiveness of a new middle class.

SHANGHAI, March 7 — By some estimates, there are more than 30,000 people patrolling the Web in China, helping to form one of the world's far-reaching Internet filtering systems.
But while China's huge Internet police force is busy deleting annoying phrases like "free speech" and "human rights" from online bulletin boards, specialists say that Wild West capitalism has moved from the real economy in China to the virtual one.
Indeed, the unchecked freedoms that exist on the Web, analysts say, are perhaps unwittingly ushering in an age of startling social change. The Web in China is a thriving marketplace for everyone, including scam artists, snake oil salesmen and hard-core criminals who are only too eager to turn consumers into victims.
Chinese entrepreneurs who started out brazenly selling downloadable pirated music and movies from online storefronts have extended their product lines — peddling drugs and sex, stolen cars, firearms and even organs for transplanting.
Much of this is happening because Internet use has grown so fast, with 110 million Web surfers in China, second only to the United States. Last year, online revenue — which the government defines more broadly than it is in the United States — was valued at $69 billion, up around 58 percent from the year before, according to a survey by the China Internet Development Research Center.
By 2010, Wall Street analysts say China could have the world's leading online commerce, with revenue coming from advertising, e-commerce and subscription fees, as well as illicit services.
The authorities have vowed to crack down on illegal Web sites and say that more than 2,000 sex and gambling sites have been shut down in recent years. But new sites are eluding them every day.
"It's a wild place," Xiao Qiang, director of the China Internet Project at the graduate journalism school of the University of California, Berkeley, said of China's Web. "Outside of politics, China is as free as anywhere. You can find porn just about anywhere on the Internet."
On any of China's leading search engines, enter sensitive political terms like "Tiananmen Square" or "Falun Gong," and the computer is likely to crash or simply offer a list of censored Web sites. But terms like "hot sex" or "illegal drugs" take users to dozens of links to Web sites allowing them to download sex videos, gain entry to online sports gambling dens or even make purchases of heroin. The scams are flourishing.

The Chinese media praised Taiwan-born Ang Lee for his best director Oscar win but state TV cut part of his speech mentioning China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Lee thanked everyone in all three regions. Beijing regards Taiwan as sovereign territory and Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
"Ang Lee is the pride of Chinese people," said the China Daily.
State television also cut Lee's words of thanks to the two gay cowboys in his film, Brokeback Mountain.
Lee said: "They taught all of us so much, not just about the gay men and women whose love is denied by society but, just as importantly,
about the greatness of love itself."

In February 2006, the monthly withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations [the Communist Youth League (CYL) and the Communist Young Pioneers (CYP)], have reached a new high of 881,874, with the daily average of 31,495. These withdrawals were made on The Epoch Times' Tuidang (Quitting the CCP) Website. On February 12, the number of withdrawals hit a daily record high of over 46,000. So far, more than 8.5 million Chinese people have declared their withdrawals from the CCP and its affiliated organizations on the Tuidang Website. Since May of 2005, the average daily number of withdrawals has been more than 20,000.

The International Federation of Journalists today accused the Chinese authorities of a “brutal vendetta” against independent journalism and media following the destruction of the offices of one of its leading critics.
Yesterday, the Hong Kong office of the English-language newspaper, The Epoch Times, was broken into by four unidentified men, who smashed a glass door at the entrance of the building and wreaked havoc in the offices, including entering the computer room in the print shop and wrecking office machines and computers.
“China’s authoritarian leaders are maintaining a systematic policy of intimidation and censorship directed against dissident voices and independent media, both inside and outside of the country," said Aidan White, IFJ General Secretary. “This latest vandalism is part of a brutal vendetta that cannot be tolerated”.

Business owners in the Hunan New City area of Guangzhou City, China, have been in an ongoing conflict with the real estate company that manages that section of the city. The conflict involves issues of transportation, real estate management fees and public security.
Li Gang, one of the Guangzhou business owners, is an IT engineer in his thirties. He is an honest and kindhearted person. He sincerely cares about others and has a history of helping people. During the past two years he has represented the business owners in negotiations with developers and the real estate company many times. He has not backed down because of pressure applied by any agencies or government departments.
Li Gang Assaulted And Severely Injured
On February 15, 2005, around 7 p.m., Li Gang was at his home in Huanan New City when five thugs broke into his home. One of them punched him, knocking him to the floor. Then the five of them beat him nearly to death. Li Gang's mother-in-law tried to stop the beating, but one of the thugs punched her, knocking her to the floor. Li Gang's five-year-old son stood shivering in fear.

China kept a low profile on the issue of organ sales to foreigners, declining to comment specifically on reports that at least seven visiting Japanese had died due to treatment.
"Transplants should be arranged in accordance with law, and the general thinking behind it should be to save people's lives first," foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told a regular briefing when asked about the issue.
Liu declined to comment further.
A Japanese official said Monday his government was investigating human organ transplants in China, following a report that at least seven Japanese died due to treatment in the neighboring country.
China has an increasingly lucrative transplant industry but it is tainted by allegations that the organs of executed prisoners are harvested and sold to hospitals.
China's health ministry on Tuesday also declined to comment, saying the official in charge would not be available until next week.
Japanese media reported earlier Tuesday that hospitals in China had received a gag order, telling them not to say anything to foreign journalists.
Japan's Jiji Press news agency said Sunday at least seven Japanese patients who travelled to China over the past two years died soon after the operations.
The patients were in their 30s to 50s and died in Shanghai, the northeastern city of Shenyang and the southern city of Changsha from early 2004 to February 2006, Jiji said, quoting diplomatic sources and transplant support groups.
It also said 180 Japanese had undergone liver and kidney transplant operations in China in 2004 and 2005 alone.
