Two screenshots from a chat group had gone viral on Chinese social media before they were censored, sparking concerns that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s live organ harvesting campaign could be targeting people on the streets.
The chat suggests Chinese police and hospitals may be coordinating the operations.
The two screenshots surfaced last week quickly went viral after the author posted them on China’s version of TikTok, Doyin, on Monday, alarming many Chinese citizens.
The text of the chat were in Chinese.
The following is the translated text:
“She’s buying durian at the fruit stand.”
“Tell X-Y-Z and the others that once she finishes the purchase, they should detain her inside the apartment building and forcibly bring her back directly in an ambulance.”
“Don’t let her go home at all.”
“OK.”
“Judging by her physique, her body fat percentage is likely high.”
“You guys want to take her?”
“Sure.”
“The DNA anti rejection tests have passed.”
“Jinlin university now has liver and kidney recipients.”
“Has the local police station been contacted?”
“I just finished contacting them.”
When asked whether this means local police were involved in kidnapping the woman, the post author replied with a confirmation.
The reference to Jilin University in the chat likely points to one of the university’s two affiliated hospitals.
A U.S. based human rights group that has investigated China’s transplant industry for decades has listed both hospitals as highly suspected of engaging in large-scale live organ harvesting.
The group was the first to report that Chinese practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice based on truthfulness- compassion-forbearance, have been the primary target for their organs.
The CCP has been persecuting the spiritual group since 1999, but in recent years the scale of organ harvesting victims appears to have grown, with increasing media reports of young people going missing in China.
Now both the screenshots and the whistleblowers’ accounts in Doyin have been completely removed from the platform by Chinese regulators.
The censorship has only made the claims more convincing to many and the story has left its digital footprints.
Many on the platform asked questions about the fate of the woman mentioned in the chat.
