Location of Liaoning, the province in which the Sujiatun hospital is located

The Sujiatun Thrombosis Hospital is a public hospital located in the Sujiatun district of Shenyang, in northeast China.

The hospital became the subject of allegations in March 2006 when the Falun Gong-affiliated journal The Epoch Times published allegations that it was the location of a "concentration camp where Falun Gong practitioners had their organs forcibly removed". The government of the People's Republic of China denied the allegations, and investigations by the United States Department of State and human rights activist Harry Wu did not find evidence to support them.

Organ-harvesting allegations

See also: Reports of organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China

In March 2006, the Falun Gong affiliated Epoch Times reported an unidentified Chinese journalist claiming that he had discovered a secret underground prison beneath the hospital, where as many as 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners were being held for organ harvesting.

Independent reports by unaffiliated organizations generally agreed that there was no evidence of live organ harvesting at Sujiatun. Harry Wu, known vocal critic of the Chinese government and its human rights record, also expressed doubts about the existence of a concentration camp at Sujiatun, stating that the evidence was insubstantial, the supposed eyewitness accounts inconsistent, the facilities at Sujiatun not amenable to such a large-scale operation, and the anonymous witnesses not credible. The United States Department of State dismissed claims of there being a "concentration camp" at Sujiatun, According to a report by the United States Congressional Research Service, U.S. officials investigated the facility twice and found no evidence that it was being used for organ harvesting or detaining prisoners. Amnesty International stated that the claims could be neither confirmed nor denied. As the hospital is a joint venture with a company associated with the Malaysian government, Malay officials also visited the clinic and found it to be a hospital, not a concentration camp.

The organ harvesting allegations in general have not been dismissed, and have still been found credible by Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, and others. See the main article.
