After many years of rumors that organs are harvested from executed Chinese prisoners and sold on the black market, confirmation of this practice is clearly coming to light from several sources. It is alleged that a special concentration camp has been set up by Chinese officials to house as many as 6,000 political prisoners in Sujiatun district of Shenyang city. News of the camp's existence broke on March 9 when a China-based journalist leaked his findings to The Epoch Times. The alleged facility is mainly an underground military base made from an air defense facility designed to house members of Falun Gong practitioners. A Chinese Journalist made the existence of this facility public earlier this month.In another case, years ago, a Chinese military physician, Dr. Wang Guoqi testified before the US Congress in June of 2001 about how he removed organs from 100 executed prisoners, and in one instance, was required to remove skin from a shot prisoner while he was still alive for use in a burn victim. Chinese prisoners The existence of the company offering human organs was made public by an online news service. According to the article, the company brokers human kidneys obtained from executed prisoners, at a price of £23,000 ($40,000). The company states: ‘A cadaveric kidney comes from a dead person and in the majority of cases in China, the dead people are prisoners, which allows for us to know at least two weeks ahead of time when the kidney will be ready.’ According to the company, prisoners give the consent and are told that their families will receive money for their donation. It is also alleged that in China, at various hospitals and other places, graffiti written on walls that offer kidneys and other organs with telephone numbers and the price. A UK magazine did an undercover investigation and had a reporter pose as a patient and was offered a Kidney transplant for $40,000 from Guangzhou’s Air Force Military Hospital. The investigation found the middleman in the deal keeps $12,000 to $15,000 while the rest goes to the hospital. In another UK publication, The Independent, a case of a wealthy Japanese businessman is presented. Kenichiro Hokamura's needed a kidney transplant when his kidneys failed. The waiting list for a kidney in Japan is very long and the prospect was he would die waiting for a donor. He elected to contact a Japanese broker in China. Ten days after contacting a Japanese broker he was on an operating table in a Shanghai hospital receiving a new kidney. "It was so fast, I was scared," he said. The "e-donor" was an executed man; the price: 6.8m yen (about £33,000). "It was cheap," adds Mr. Hokamura, now back in Japan. "I can always earn more money." According to The Independent, a recovering Mr. Hokamura stated: "My translator said my donor was a young executed prisoner, the donor was able to provide a contribution to society so what's wrong with that?"
