JUDICIAL COMMISSION
PURE-VERITAS VALEBIT
Witness Testimony
EXTRACTED STATEMENT FROM DR. ENVER TOHTI
Testified on April 17, 2018 before the I.T.N.J. regarding the Falung Gong and forced organ harvesting programs in China
DR. ENVER TOHTI is a renowned surgeon who speaks of the horrific crimes against the Falung Gong by the Communist Chinese who have an agenda of forced organ harvesting.
“The speakers (before me) have given you a general picture, I’m here to tell you how this kind of thing can happen in China. Because it can. Because I
did one. There’s a fundamental difference between western mind and the eastern mind. The western people they assume innocent until proven guilty. In the East, it is the other way around. So if you look at ‘Your Heart, My Skin, must be different,’ that is philosophy of Chinese culture. And this culture has been well adopted by the Chinese Communist Regime. So what this says is anyone labelling himself anything other than Communist Party, his heart must be different, therefore you are subject to whatever punishment available.
And a person like me, born to that society, just like born straight into the washing machine and get
my brain washed, so I believed, genuinely believed whatever I had been told from the school, it’s true. Just imagine people in North Korea now, it is who I was back then, I believed it. I believed that anyone condemned to death by authorities is enemy of the state. And me, as a surgeon of this country, I have moral duty to eliminate the enemy of the state. And this is our mentality. Of course, I have discovered what is called human rights, what is called civilization when I come to this country, and that is how I decided to speak out.
In 1995, I think it was a Wednesday...and that Wednesday I happened to be the one free that didn’t have operation (on the schedule), so the day before, my two chief surgeons called me into the office and said, “Do you want to do something wild?” I said
of course! I was so excited, because, I mean, I was young, and something wild means you don’t get chance to do it. They said, “Assemble a team and bring the mobile operation equipment and meet us at hospital gate tomorrow at 9:30am.” So I did.
At 9:30am I have my team and our van and the
two chief surgeons appeared in a car and told us to follow them. Of course we were all young and so excited wondering what are we going to do. Then we followed them from the direction traveling towards the west. I know in western mountain area we have a branch hospital, so I thought we are going there, but half way there we turn left again and head straight
to the mountain area and I got lost. I said where are we going. Our driver, he knows, and he said we are going to the execution ground.
Execution ground? What are we going to do there? We were actually a little scared wondering what are we going to do there. Anyway, we had been told we have to go, so we go. Then we arrived at the execution ground, it was behind a hill, and the two chief surgeons told us, “You wait here behind this hill, and when you hear the gunshots you just turn around and go inside.” Then we went silent. Everybody stopped smoking and just standing there and don’t know what to do. Probably 40 or
