Witness Testimony
EXTRACTED STATEMENT FROM ETHAN GUTMANN
Testified on April 17, 2018 before the I.T.N.J. regarding the Falung Gong and forced organ harvesting programs in China
ETHAN GUTMANN is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and co-founder of the International Coalition to End Organ Abuse in Chine.
“This is an interesting picture (shows image of Chines execution ground) and if you look at it, it’s
an execution ground. Look at the expressions, I
don’t know if you can see it that clearly, but look at the expressions on the faces. You’ve gone one that’s kind of reserved and he’s holding himself back,
he’s trying to look official, there’s another one that’s trying to pretend it’s all a big joke, actually I think he’s probably a leader based on the mustache, and the one in the front is looking at us defiantly because he’s the one that just did the shooting. You see that rag on his arm? That’s to prevent his uniform from getting stained from the back-splatter as he fires the gun into the heads of the people he shot, and you can see the people that have been shot there. And the reason we have this picture at all is because in China this is an acceptable picture...
...But I think the significance of this form of organ harvesting is this, these are the new executioners.
In other words, this is not really money based. The backbone of this whole thing is that it came from the Communists party’s desire to control populations, not to make money. I mean making the money,
in China these things get mixed up like they do anywhere, but money is really the corruption, the kind of gasoline that keeps the engine going. But the original creation of that engine was from the state. Increasingly for the last 20 years, really since 1997,
these have become potential executioners and now they really are the one who do it. These people are done (have their organs removed) while they are alive.
... What (the research has) showed is that it’s not 10 thousand transplants a year, as the Chinese claim,
it’s kind of an off-hand figure, it’s 60 thousand, or 200 thousand, easily. That’s a phenomenal figure
and it means that the Chinese are, by far, number one in the world in this industry... and the fact is the main stream media has covered this issue. It’s been in the New Your Times six times over the last year and a half. People just don’t look at the articles, they don’t click on them. That’s the truth. It’s been in the Globe and Mail, it’s been on CNN. Our report was directly reported on by CNN and Times of London, Independent, Guardian, Telegraph, people don’t click on this stuff. There’s not a lot of concern about it. And this is the truth.
... But he bigger mystery was what happened in China and this map is just to give you...(shows image of organ harvesting map) relevant sights and locations... If you were to actually cover all the places where organ harvesting takes place, all the prisons and hospitals and so-forth, you’d have a black mass over the entire east coast. But if we look towards
the northwest, in that desert region up there, that’s Armuchee, this is the home of the Uighurs, and Xinjiang, which Uighurs call East Turkistan, and it’s at the Air Force hospital that our story begins. The Air Force hospital is where the first organ from a political prisoner that we know of was sold in 1997.
