TESTIMONIAL ORGAN SALES IN CHINA.

WHY I SCREAMED 'STOP THE MURDER' IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

WENYI WANG, the women who a few days back had a few seconds of world-wide fame for reprimanding the Chinese President invited by President Bush, did not do it to make herself famous.


Wenyi Wang aged forty-seven is from Changchun in northeast China (in the photo, dressed in black). She became a medical doctor in China and moved to the United States in 1985, where she was certified as a medical doctor and earned a PhD. She has practiced Falun Gong since 1996, and is the spokesperson for the Overseas Chinese Physicians for Human Rights.

My name is Wenyi Wang. I am forty-seven, I have a son and a daughter and I am a doctor.

I was released from the Washington, DC District Court on Friday, April the 21st; I will be back in court on May 3rd facing a potential penalty of $5000 and six months in prison.

I think it is necessary for me to give to the public an explanation for my protest during Hu Jintao's remarks Thursday morning on the South Lawn of the White House during his visit with President Bush. (Wang Screamed 'Stop the Murders' to the Asian President).

On March 9th The Epoch Times [newspaper edited by a group of Chinese Americans in ten languages in over thirty countries] reported the large-scale organ removal from living Falun Gong practitioners (a movement persecuted by the Chinese government) in the Sujiatun District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province in northeastern China. After this story broke, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) quickly transferred the Falun Gong practitioners still held in the Sujiatun area, took other steps to cover up what had been done, and denied the incident. At this time, The Epoch Times assigned me to follow this story because I am a pathologist and have experience in organ transplantation research.

Initially our story was based on the accounts of two individuals from the Shenyang area with information about what had happened inside the hospitals in Sujiatun: "Peter," a Chinese national who had worked as a producer for a Japanese TV station in the Shenyang City area; and "Annie," who was a staff member at the Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine and the former wife of a surgeon who had performed organ-harvesting at Sujiatun for several years.

From the beginning of March, I have been accompanying these two sources to interviews with major international media, the U.S. Congress, and governmental agencies. At the same time, we obtained information regarding large-scale organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners between 2001 and 2003 in major labour camps that detained Falun Gong practitioners.

Some patients who had gone to China for organ transplant operations told us that they were told prior to their going to China that the organ sources were Falun Gong practitioners. Some doctors who know the overall picture of the live organ harvesting scheme told us that the cruelty and inhumanity is unthinkable, unspeakable and far beyond what has been reported in The Epoch Times. They told us that when the scheme was completely exposed, people around the world would be stunned. Everyone associated with this scheme who withdraws from it puts his or her life at risk. Although these people have been in close contact with The Epoch Times, they dare not step forward because they are afraid of being killed.

Patients require living healthy organs. In order to attract business, transplant doctors in China have openly admitted in tape-recorded phone calls that the organs are from living Falun Gong practitioners. In addition, almost all hospitals make public statements that the waiting time for suitable organs range from two weeks to a month. Sometimes it takes only a week to complete the process of finding an organ, blood and tissue matching and transplantation. The multi-language online advertisement of an organ transplantation centre in Shenyang even promised that in three weeks patients can go to China, complete organ transplantation and resume work happily.

After the Sujiatun news broke out, the Chinese web page of this organ transplantation business was removed. As a doctor with a background in organ transplantation, I clearly know that there must be large-scale live -organ banks in many provinces in Mainland China. I feel great pain at the thought of this. We have tens of thousands of missing Falun Gong practitioners. Their families search for them, but have no clue at all as to their whereabouts.

Soon after the news of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners came out, the CCP issued a new directive regarding organ transplantation. Although the directive appears to outlaw the organ harvesting that has been taking place, it does not go into effect until July 1st. Meanwhile, many hospitals are urging patients to have organ transplantation done soon. They have said that the organ sources will be not so abundant after May the 1st. Recording documenting these claims have been published online.

A lot of investigation, including recorded interviews with transplant doctors in China, indicates that major hospitals in China are performing operations at this very time to remove organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Our investigations also show the hospitals in China are hastening to perform these operations as quickly as possible.

It is obvious that the Chinese Communist Party is covering things up, and at the same time, rushing to complete organ transplantations as quickly as possible. We know that every single day large numbers of Falun Gong practitioners are being sacrificed to provide the necessary organs.


I haven't had time for my children. I left them in New York. On April 19th, the day before the meeting between President Bush and Hu Jintao, I went to a congressional hearing about human rights in China. However, the two witnesses who risked their lives to expose the organ removal from living Falun Gong practitioners were not allowed to explain what they knew. At the time, the two witnesses had only requested they be allowed to testify in private before the Congressmen. After they saw that the hearing did not have any testimony about what they knew was true, they bravely decided to make their first public statements at a press conference held on April 21st.

After this Congressional hearing, I realizsed I had to do whatever I could to call attention to the organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners. On April the 20th I went to the White House to report. However, when I saw President Bush shake hands with Hu Jintao, I couldn't help but cry out. I cried out for those Falun Gong practitioners, for those who have been or are going to be dissected alive for their organs. I cried out for those who have been tortured and suffered genocidal persecution.

I hope that Hu Jintao does not follow Jiang Zemin in the persecution and genocide of Falun Gong. The live organ removal is the most severe crime against humanity and the most severe and largest-scale genocide happening right now right in front of our eyes.


Although my action was an individual action, I acted in a way consistent with the spirit of freedom. I also acted to protect the dignity of my adopted home country and of humankind. Afterwards, I was detained for a day. When I was released, I saw many media waiting for me in front of the courthouse. They all asked me, "Why?"

Since I have been released I have given interviews to the press. The press reported on what I did at the White House, but did not really report very much about the reason why I acted. However, the reason for my action is the key to the whole issue.

I am convinced that the massive organ removal from living Falun Gong practitioners touches and challenges the conscience of all of us, wherever we live. It is a challenge for humankind; and they are crimes and sins that we must be able to stop.
