A Place Called Sujiatun
Are they killing Falun Gong, for their organs?
http://www.nationalreview.com/nordlinger/nordlinger200603300722.asp
There is a horrifying story going around the world: In the northeast of
China, thousands of prisoners are being held, so that they can be
killed for their organs. The prisoners are practitioners of Falun Gong,
the meditation-and-exercise system. The facility at which they are
being held - called a "concentration camp" or a "death camp" - is
at Sujiatun. Chinese human-rights activists believe that this name
should cause the same shudders as Treblinka and the others.
I cannot say whether this story is true; I can say that one ought to
pay attention.
....
Now to the Chinese journalist: His name is Jin Zhong - or so he calls
himself for the purpose of media reports. I spoke to him when I was
meeting with some Falun Gong activists in a New York conference room.
One of them, Charles Lee, was recently released from a Chinese prison
after three years' confinement. He was tortured, and I will be writing
about him in the next issue of National Review. Dr. Lee is a U.S.
citizen, by the way.
And, in a strange twist, he bore witness to organ-harvesting, while a
young medical researcher in China, years ago. Prisoners would be shot
in the back of the head, and their bodies would be hustled to a waiting
van. There, doctors would extract their organs; Charles Lee served as
an assistant, holding the instruments. Sometimes, the prisoners seemed
not quite dead, he says.
Before Dr. Lee and I talked, I was able to interview Jin Zhong by
phone, using an associate of Dr. Lee's as a translator.
....
I ask Mr. Jin whether the officials felt guilty about this murder and
organ-harvesting. He says, "Not at all."
Mr. Jin soon attracted the attention of the police, and was twice
detained. He says he was tortured, while in detention. He managed to
return to Japan, and then come to the United States. His family remains
in Japan, and he says they have received death threats. Obviously, he
fears for his own life here in America. PRC agents have never been
respecters of national territory.
For those who care, Mr. Jin is not himself a Falun Gong practitioner.
(Neither is the woman whose husband performed organ-harvesting.) "I'm
not even interested," says Mr. Jin. But he is interested in humanity,
and in justice. He says, "I trust that the CCP [the Chinese Communist
Party] will try to kill me," for telling about Sujiatun. His life would
have been far easier if he had kept quiet, but his conscience would not
allow it.
