What sources are you getting the organ transplants information from?

Directly from Enver Tohti, a Chinese doctor who was involved in organ harvesting:

> But when Tohti arrived at the destination, he was shocked to find at least 10 prisoners had been shot in a field by a firing squad.

> Armed police waved the surgeon and his medical team over and directed them to a man lying unconscious on blood-soaked ground.

> Tohti said: “He’d been shot in the right-hand side of the chest but was still alive.

> “I told my chief surgeon he wasn’t dead but he ordered me to remove the man’s liver and kidneys there and then – and to be quick about it. I was ordered not to give the man any anaesthetic.”

I often hear that uyghurs organs are sold as pure/halal organs to muslims from Saudi Arabia (and other rich muslims countries). If it is true -- and I think it is -- that is indeed absolutly abominable.

Odd to me that your question -- a genuine question -- would be downvoted.

Probably because it’s received quite a bit of attention. If you’ve been reading HN for a while, particularly articles about the recent injustices in China, you’ve likely already encountered such claims.
