Claims of Concentration Camp in Turkistan
By Matthew H. Wahlert
Special to The Epoch Times Mar 25, 2006
Recent reports in the Epoch Times detail the systematic harvesting of organs of political opponents, most notably Falun Gong members, in a Sujiaton, China concentration camp. Some greeted the reports with a great deal of skepticism. But, to many the reports are not much of a surprise and fit the pattern of suppression historically employed by the Communist Chinese regime. In fact, details of the Chinese policy of forced organ harvesting emerged more than ten years ago.
A 1984 document produced by China's Public Health Ministry – "Provisions Regulations on the Use of Dead Bodies or Organs from Condemned Criminals" – outlined a policy of organ harvesting. The report itself summarized detailed policies for implementation in the organ-harvesting program. For example, when corneas are needed for transplant, the edict recommends a shot to the heart. On the other hand, a shot to the head suffices in situations calling for other organs. In the cruelest of all ironies, family members then must pay for the bullets used in the execution.
In June of 1991, the discussion on Capital Hill reflected a growing concern over Chinese human rights violations involving illegal organ harvesting. Congressman Henry Hyde, the chairman on international relations, issued a scathing statement concerning organ harvesting in China. Hyde highlighted claims that estimated the number of organs taken from executed prisoners were as high as 90% of total transplants. In addition, many of the executions were sentences for so-called "counter-revolutionary offenses" – often a buzzword for democratic activism.
Amnesty International supports the notion that many of the charges levied against China's so-called criminals are actually political in nature. Crimes of "distrurbing social order," "assembling to disrupt public order," and "using a heretical orginazation to undermine the implementation of the law" all have become part of the lexicon of Chinese criminal justice system. In fact, Chinese officials labeled the Falun Gong a heretical organization on 22 July 1999 and have a stated goal of destroying the group by the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Thus, claims of harvesting organs illegally from Falun Gong members are not much of a jump in logic – particularly given the eyewitness reports recently divulged.
In testimony before Congress on 27 June 2001, Dr. Wang Guoqi detailed one of his experiences in China implementing a state policy of organ harvesting. Dr. Wang related an incident of some six years earlier. Several burn doctors, including Dr. Wang, were directed to harvest skin off of a wounded prisoner. Kidneys were immediately removed by several other doctors. The effort to remove the skin was attempted in an ambulance but aborted due to unruly crowds. As a result, the job was left half-finished and the body of the prisoner thrown into a plastic trash bag.
Media reports surrounding the Sujiaton concentration camp and the allegations of organ harvesting and killing of Falun Gong members at the camps has led to accusations of additional facilities in China. One such facility is rumored to be located in the Turkestan region of Western China.
The East Turkistan Government in Exile, a Washington DC group opposed to Chinese occupation of the western Chinese province of Xinjiang, claimed that at least one Falun Gong concentration camp existed on Turkistan soil.
In a statement issued by Mr. Turani, the East Turkistan Government in Exile demanded that all prisoners held in communist concentration camps be granted official Turkistan asylum. In addition, Turani called for all such camps to be shut down and for an immediate withdraw of all Communist Chinese forces from Turkistan.
Needless to say, the declaration was more symbolic and intended to bring attention to the continued plight of both the Falun Gong and the Uigher Muslim minority in the western Chinese province of Xinjiang.
Chinese policy toward the Turkish peoples in Eastern Turkistan, officially the Xinjiang Uigher Autonomous Region, long has been characterized by repression. Since 1949, China has controlled the western Chinese region with an eye toward reducing Uigher influence. In 1941, Uighers made up 80% of Xinjiang while the numbers in 1998 fell to less than 50%. Continued efforts to "Hanize" the Xinjiang population foretell future reductions in the Uigher population.
A riot in Yining in Feb. 1997 resulted in Chinese government crackdowns, arrests, trials, and summary executions. China has taken advantage of the 9/11 attacks on the United States in order to increase repression of the Uighers. China attempted to draw connections between Uighers and al Qaeda – although many experts doubt such a connection. By 2003, Chinese officials altered the definition of terrorism to include the notion of "separatist thought."
The Uigher situation has become so problematic that the United Nations has designated the Uighers as persons of concern. Both Amnesty International and the U.S. State Department have condemned the Chinese treatment of separatists in Xinjiang. In fact, Amnesty International dubbed Xinjiang as "the death penalty capital of the world."
Recently, the more than one million expatriate Uighers and an expanding number of free Turkistan websites have managed to bring greater world attention to the Uygher issue. Turani's allegations of a Sujiaton-style concentration camp in Turkistan reveals the levels of repression by Chinese Communists with regard to teh Falun Gong and Uigher population. The continued evidence of illegal organ harvesting, in a state noted for repression and said to execute some 10,000 of its citizens per year, appears, at minimum, a cause for concern.

He has contributed pieces in several upcoming works on security and international relations - "NATO: An Encyclopedia of International Security, Homeland Security: Protecting America's Targets, and Countering Terrorism in the 21st Century."
