How China sells the "halal organs" of its Uighur prisoners to the wealthy
Locked up in internment camps, Chinese Muslim minorities would serve as organ banks. Organs called "halal" taken by force and sold at a high price in the Gulf countries.
It is not good to be of another ethnicity than the Han, the majority, in China. Religious minorities have been persecuted in China for many years. Muslims, Catholics, Tibetans and even Falung gong are considered enemies of the state by their beliefs. In 2014, internment camps were built in northwest China's Xinjiang Autonomous Province. The goal is to lock up hundreds of thousands of Uyghur, Kyrgyz, Hui and Kazakh Muslims. According to Amnesty International, one million Uyghurs are currently detained without trial or for any particular reason. But in addition to forced labor in these camps, the detainees' organs would be removed to be sold.
After denying the existence of these camps for a long time, China finally officially recognized them in October 2018 under the name of "transformation camps through education". Some never leave it. According to many investigators, the reason for these disappearances is simple: they were killed for their organs.
Since 2016, the Chinese government has launched a comprehensive medical check-up campaign in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Tests only compulsory for its Uyghur inhabitants aged 12 to 65. In the battery of tests offered, blood is taken but also ultrasound examinations are sometimes carried out. These allow you to visualize the size, shape and internal structure of an organ. Doubtful medical reports that China has never sought to justify.
For many, there is no doubt, these tests make it possible to collect a database of future donors. American investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann has worked for several years on organ harvesting in China. For him, it is obvious that China tries to keep an eye on ethnic minorities through these medical checks: "All the survivors of camps that I have been able to interview, whether they are Uyghurs, Kazakh, Kyrgyz or Hui, had blood samples every month. You could say that it is to avoid infectious diseases but it is not possible since the Han Chinese represent more than half of the population in Xinjiang and yet they are not tested. These assessments therefore make it possible to monitor and potentially identify them for organ harvesting. Thanks to these tests, the government can therefore know and collect the blood group of Uyghurs as well as the state of their organs.
China is one of the countries with the shortest waiting time for a transplant. However in Chinese culture, it is important to keep the body intact after death and therefore not to donate its organs. While organ donation is not common, donors are still available. How does China get all these organs? The wait is often counted in days and sometimes in weeks. While for many countries, it can sometimes take several months or even years. In the United States, it takes an average of 3,6 years to get a transplant, while 145 million people are registered as organ donors. In China, it takes only around 12 days for the same request, while 373 people are registered as organ donors. Some people even learn the exact date of the transplant in advance. In other words, hospitals know the dates of patient deaths in advance.
Organ harvesting is not new in China. For many years, the country has taken samples from death row inmates before announcing to the international community in 2015 the end of this practice.
