On April 28, a Sound of Hope journalist made contact with one kidney transplant surgeon in Beijing. The surgeon said, because there were more organ donors in Sichuan province, China, he had been temporarily transferred to Sichuan local military hospital to help out. The doctors in the Air Force Hospital admitted they had young and healthy Falun Gong practitioner donors.

Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital, also known as No. 2 Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, is a noted kidney transplant centre. Kidney Transplant Department Chief Li Honghui said that every year the centre performed over 100 transplants but recently, the donor pool in Beijing was a shrinking, so two months ago, he was transferred to a military hospital in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province to assist with the overload; that region had plenty of donors.

Li Honghui: "We were in the military district!"

Journalist: "Is it because there were more kidney donors, that you went there to perform surgeries?"

Li Honghui: "Yes"

Li said that it was several years ago that organs mostly came from Falun Gong practitioner; when the journalist asked whether they could provide Falun Gong practitioner donor organs, he answered, "Yes."

Li Honghui: "It happened that for the past several years that donor organs were from Falun Gong practitioners."

Journalist: "Do you mean that this type of donor was quite easy to get several years ago."

Li Honghui: "That's true."

Journalist: "Can you supply young and healthy donors, such as people who practice Falun Gong?"

Li Honghui: "This request can be considered, I will tell you when the time comes"

Li Honghui said there would be a batch of kidneys on April 30.
