Ms. Shea said, "Though still being investigated and yet to be verified, a report has surfaced that is so grave it warrants mentioning here: According to a Chinese journalist who recently escaped to the United States, a concentration camp, Sujiatun, in the city of Shenyang, has been specially constructed to hold some 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners from northeast China. The camp is said to have a large staff of doctors, whose job there is to conduct experiments on the prisoners and kill them efficiently. It is said to include a crematorium to dispose of the evidence.

"The journalist, working with a network of informants, states that the Chinese government uses the prison to conduct a business in selling organs harvested from those who are killed inside.

"In light of Harry Wu's past reports on organ harvesting from executed prisoners in China, this story must be taken seriously and investigated."

The U.S. Congress recently reviewed the latest Human Rights Country Reports issued by the Department of State. The legislators are particularly concerned of human rights situation in some specific countries including China.
