BBC crew gathers evidence of organ harvesting in China

An undercover BBC crew appears to have found direct evidence of organ harvesting from executed prisoners, which is thriving on a growing demand from desperately ill foreigners.
BBC learnt that the going price for a liver transplant is now $125,000 and that according to the doctors, the donors are recently executed prisoners.

TRANSCRIPT:
I've told the hospital I'm looking for a new liver for my ailing father. The chief surgeon, Dr Dung, tells me he can get a matching liver in less than three weeks. Then I broach the awkward issue of where the liver will come from.
We have heard that many of the organs come from executed prisoners.
DR DUNG: Yes, it's true.
RUPERT WINGFIELD-HAYES: Another man arrives. This is the hospital's agent for dealing with foreign clients. He's eager to do business and produces documents for making a payment of £50,000 to a bank account in Hong Kong. He's also far less discrete.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: To put it bluntly, it's true. We use a lot of organs from executed prisoners. The prisoners on death row have done many bad things. Before they die they give their organs as a present to society. It's a good thing.
RUPERT WINGFIELD-HAYES: Then an astonishing admission; that an increase in executions ahead of the 1 October national holiday means there is a sudden abundance of organs.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 1 October is China's National Day.


Mass arrest of Falun Gong practitioners on National Day

At first all appeared quiet. But then suddenly, at about 0830, throngs of Falun Gong protestors emerged amid the crowds, holding up large banners and shouting "Falun Gong is good".
Hundreds of police swarmed onto the square to try and suppress the protests but their efforts were hampered by the vast numbers of ordinary tourists, who gawped in amazement as the protestors were tackled.
Ranks of uniformed police began to clear the square completely as the Falun Gong protestors were gradually rounded up, herded onto buses and driven away.
The number of protestors is estimated to run into the hundreds.

Sale of executed Falun Gong prisoner organs in China 'shocking'
Falun Gong supporters say thousands of members have been jailed and hundreds killed.
How they were killed -- and for what purpose -- were troubling questions raised during a Congressional subcommittee hearing in Washington, DC.
The subject was a report from human rights activists who say the Chinese government is supporting the sale of organs from Falun Gong prisoners who have been executed.
