PRC Organ Harvesting Industry

NBC:   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. 

 Tribunal:   Falun Gong practitioners have been one — and probably the main — source of organ supply .. (while) the concerted persecution and medical testing of the Uyghurs is more recent. 

 NBC:   Allegations .. came to light in 2001, after a boom in transplant activity was registered .. with wait times becoming unusually short. Chinese websites advertised hearts, lungs and kidneys for sale and available to book in advance , suggesting that the victims were killed on demand. Dr. Enver Tohti, surgeon, witness:   What I recall is with my scalpel, I tried to cut into his skin - there was blood - that indicates the heart was still beating … At the same time, he was trying to resist my insertion, but he was too weak. 

 NBC: The tribunal is chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice, who worked as a prosecutor at the international tribunal for crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia. 

 Well, Sir Geoffrey sounds like a Nice chap- how about the nice researchers at Westmead - surely they wouldn’t have anything to do with such a horrid, institutionalized practice?
