EXTRACTED STATEMENT FROM ETHAN GUTMANN
Testified on April 17 , 2018 before the I . T . N . J . regarding the Falun 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 China . 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 .
“ This is an interesting picture ( shows image of Chinese 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 got 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 ,
... What ( the research has ) shown 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 York 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 .
