Chinese Doctors Harvested Organs of Car Crash Victims and Patients with Severe Brain Damage

Six people including several doctors have been imprisoned in southeast China for illegally harvesting organs from traffic accident victims.

Local media reports the group removed the livers and kidneys from 11 people at a hospital in Anhui province between 2017 and 2018. The trafficking ring deceived the families of the deceased into believing they had made official organ donations.

The Intermediate People's Court in the city of Bengpu found the gang guilty, sentencing them to between 10 and 28 months in July, according to the South China Morning Post.

According to reports, the group would target car crash victims or patients who suffered from cerebral damage at the Huaiyuan County People's Hospital in Anhui.

The head of the intensive care unit, Yang Suxun, would ask a patient's family if they would consent to donating their relative's organs. However, the consent forms signed by the families were fake.

The bodies of the victims would be taken out of the hospital at night and transported using a van disguised as an ambulance, where doctors would remove the organs.
