Lu Sen (pseudonym: Lu Dahai), a doctor from Jiangsu Province and a doctor from Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital, was accused of conspiring with others across provinces to illegally remove human organs from black ambulances, but was only sentenced to one year in prison for “destroying a corpse”. Lu Sen appealed to the Anhui High Court in February, insisting that he was not guilty of organ harvesting because it was an official act. The media has downplayed the matter. Experts analyze the inner workings of live organ harvesting.
ICU director led a cross-province conspiracy with doctors from several hospitals
The final verdict on the illegal harvesting of human organs was handed down on Aug. 18, 2020, and the mainland media reported the case on April 17 under the heading “Dr. Doctor pleads not guilty. The real names of the other people involved in the case were not disclosed.
According to comprehensive mainland media reports, Lu Sen (pseudonym: Lu Dahai), 53, graduated from Nanjing Medical University with a doctoral degree and is the chief physician of hepatobiliary surgery at Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital, was involved in a 2018 case of illegal harvesting of human organs. He was a staff member of the OPO (Organ Procurement Organization) at his hospital.
Relevant information shows that on Feb. 11, 2018, Li Ping, a woman from Huaiyuan County, was treated in the ICU of the county hospital after being cut with an axe on her head and neck due to family conflicts, and the director of the ICU was Yang Suxun.
Thinking that Li Ping’s days were numbered, Yang Suxun took the organ donation information and kept lobbying Li Ping’s husband as well as her daughter, adding that there would be a considerable amount of state compensation, and the two agreed.
Thereafter, Yang Suxun informed Li Ping’s basic situation to Huang Xinli, chief physician of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital in Jiangsu Province, and after review, Li Ping met the organ transplant criteria.
On February 14, 2018, Yang Suxun contacted a hospital in Beijing. The agreement for organ donation was then signed inside Huaiyuan County Hospital with the cooperation of stomatologists Wang Hailiang and Ouyang from the Luling Branch of Anhui Huabei Mining General Hospital.
The Epoch Times has interviewed Liang Xin, an organ coordinator in Liaoning. Liang Xin’s account corroborates the fact that the hospital ICU and other departments provide donor leads and charge a lead fee. Liang Xin said, “Many hospitals, like the unit I worked in before, it is connected with some hospitals’ ICU and emergency departments, just like providing (organ) leads, and giving (them) a lead fee.”
Why was the surgery done in a “black ambulance”?
According to the report, five days after Li Ping was declared dead, Lu Dahai, who had just arrived from Nanjing, removed Li Ping’s liver and kidneys in Ouyang’s modified “black ambulance” and sent her to Beijing by others.
Even according to Chinese Communist Party law, human organ donation requires the signatures of the donor’s spouse, adult children and parents. Li Ping’s mother and son did not know that Li Ping’s organs had been donated at the time, and only learned about it after the fact. Li Ping’s son, Shi Xianglin, also found that the China Human Organ Donation Management Center did not have his mother’s organ donation information.
The case of illegal organ harvesting came to light when Shi Xianglin sued in court after 200,000 yuan in so-called “state compensation” was transferred to a cousin’s account.
China’s propaganda claims that it follows the principle of “no compensation” for human organ donation, and opposes any organ donation for financial reward. 2015 saw a complete halt to the use of organs from death row inmates, with organ transplants coming from “voluntary donations.
On April 24, 2019, Lu Sen was taken away by the Public Security Bureau of Huaiyuan County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province at 2:00 pm. The first trial of this illegal organ harvesting case started, Lu Sen, Yang Suxun and others were sentenced, while Lu Hai was qualified as suspected of “intentional destruction of corpses”, only a light sentence of one year.
Some netizens left messages expressing their views and questions: Lu Sen and others were involved in the crime of trafficking in human organs, and should not be sentenced to the crime of “destruction of corpses”, the verdict is too light. “It should be the crime of intentional homicide, and also a gang crime, only sentenced to one year, too dark!”
“Why were human organs removed in a black ambulance and not in a hospital operating room? Was the deceased really dead and then had their organs removed?”
ANALYSIS: The purpose of the case and the real hidden evil revealed by the land media
According to reports, after the first trial, Lu Sen and four other suspects filed an appeal, with Lu Sen’s appeal based on the fact that the organ donation work was arranged by the unit and higher-ups and was a public assignment.2020 On August 18, 2020, the Anhui Bengbu Intermediate Court rejected several appeals and upheld the original verdict.
On April 15, 2021, Lu Sen revealed that in February this year, he submitted his appeal to the Anhui High Court, and that he did not approve of the final ruling.
The media reported the above illegal organ harvesting incident lightly, without giving important details. However, three of the doctors involved had OPO status, including Huang Xinli, who is a member of the Organ Donation and Management Group of the Jiangsu Provincial Medical Association’s Organ Transplantation Branch.
