The recent sentencing of a Chinese doctor and the mysterious death of a whistleblower have further exposed the large-scale state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting in China, according to analysts.
Liu Xiangfeng, a surgeon at a top Chinese hospital who was accused of corruption and removing patients’ healthy organs, was sentenced to 17 years in prison in China.
Liu had been under investigation and dubbed the “devil doctor” by Chinese media after anonymous whistleblowers’ allegations went viral on social media in 2022. He was accused of various wrongdoings, including performing unnecessary surgeries on patients with minor conditions as well as patients beyond saving and removing healthy organs from patients for profit.
In 2019, the London-based China Tribunal found that the Chinese regime had committed torture and crimes against humanity in the state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience and that Falun Gong practitioners had been and continued to be the main group of victims murdered for their organs. Evidence also pointed to forced organ harvesting of Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities in recent years.
Due to the Chinese authorities’ past record of covering up information, it is difficult to verify the involvement of specific doctors in forced organ harvesting. WOIPFG has alleged in its investigative report series on the matter that “all transplant facilities in China today have participated in live organ harvesting.”
