Chinese children at risk of having their organs harvested flee to UK to escape criminal gangs

Lungs, kidneys, livers, hearts and corneas are among the most sought-after organs and are sold on the black market around the world for thousands-of-pounds. Victims are often political prisoners or vulnerable, poor people.

Almost 20 children and adults have been reported to UK authorities in recent years. Last year saw a record number of suspected victims claiming that they had been subjected to one of the most gruesome and harrowing forms of human trafficking and modern slavery.

The disturbing revelation comes as an Independent Tribunal is expected to publish its much-anticipated judgement into forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China today.
