The organs of members of marginalized groups detained in Chinese prison camps are being forcefully harvested — sometimes when patients are still alive — an international tribunal sitting in London has concluded.
“Falun Gong practitioners have been one — and probably the main — source of organ supply,” the judgment read, while “the concerted persecution and medical testing of the Uyghurs is more recent,” using a different spelling of the minority group. It warned however that the scale of medical testing of the Uighur Muslims meant they could end up being used as an"organ bank."
Allegations of forced organ harvesting first came to light in 2001, after a boom in transplant activity was registered in China, with waiting times becoming unusually short, the statement said. Chinese websites advertised hearts, lungs and kidneys for sale and available to book in advance, suggesting that the victims were killed on demand, it added.
The tribunal added in the adjoining statement that witnesses, experts and investigators had told of how Falun Gong practitioners continued to be killed in order to extract their organs. It added that forced organ harvesting was also being performed while victims are still alive, killing the person in the process.
Several survivors of life inside the prison camps told the tribunal of how they were subjected to physical examinations including blood tests, x-rays and ultrasounds, the statement said. “Experts report that the only reasonable explanation for these examinations was to ensure that victims’ organs were healthy and fit for transplantation,” it added. A healthy liver, for example, can reportedly be sold for some $160,000, according to the statement.
