CHINA: BEIJING LAWYER REVEALS ORGAN HARVESTING OF EXECUTED PRISONER

December 6, 2012: a Beijing lawyer revealed something stunning on the Chinese Internet. Han Bing, who goes by the Weibo handle “Hanzhou Lawyer”, says a Chinese hospital turned into the execution ground for a prisoner on death row. The prisoner was reportedly rushed to a hospital that morning, where he was forced to sign an organ donation form. His family was not contacted about the “execution”. He was killed in the hospital where the “quality” of his organs would be ensured. 
Han wrote in his Twitter-like Weibo account, quote “these conscienceless judges and doctors turned the hospital into an execution ground and a market for organ trade!”
Han later spoke with NTD. 
 "It is written in the criminal justice policy of the supreme court that executed prisoners must meet their family before the execution. However, the court didn't do that in this case. We will have some actions in the next step. And then, if we make progress, we will make it public", Han said.
Han’s post received a lot of attention. Within one day, it was shared over 18,000 times. Over 6,500 people commented on it. But by December 7th, the post was removed from his account. 
In recent months, the Chinese regime has faced increasing international pressure over transplant abuse in the country. 
Chinese authorities say they rely largely on executed prisoners as a source of organs for the 10,000 transplant that happen each year. Han’s revelation would confirm widespread suspicion that the prisoners, unlike what authorities say, are not willing donor.
The regime also faces allegations that it’s not ordinary prisoners being used. Rather, prisoners of conscience, mainly members of the Falun Gong spiritual practice, are being actively killed for their organs. Others targeted include persecuted minorities such as Uighur Muslims and House Christians. (Sources: ntdtv.org, 10/12/2012)
