The Xinjiang Procedure by Ethan Gutmann

The Xinjiang Procedure by Ethan Gutmann

Beijing's "new frontier" is ground zero for the organ harvesting of political prisoners. What do you make of these documented statements: Once medical authorities found a matching blood type, they would move on to tissue matching. Then the political prisoner would get a bullet to the right side of the chest. A family was a told to visit a military hospital in Urumqi where the hospital staff laid it out: One kidney. $4,700. The nurse learned that the "donor" was, in fact, a protestor. Author Ethan Gutmann risked his life to tell the story of the Uighurs, just as he risked his life to tell the story of the Falun Gong in his acclaimed book The Slaughter. Gutmann's searing and indisputable reporting of forced organ harvesting in The Slaughter drew death threats - and helped bring down Taipei's mayor, Dr. zKo Wen-je, who was complicit in the organ harvesting operations in mainland China. The Xinjiang Procedure documents atrocities continuing today, just as the Slaughter spotlighted genocidal acts against the Falun Gong. In both cases, they are also profitable acts, with China enjoying a thriving organ tourist industry, whereby wealthy individuals an purchase and receive organ transplants. Here's how The Xinjiang Procedure begins: Once there was a little girl who payed in the wild apricot trees with their brothers and always wore her headscarf. Rukiye - that's the little girl's name - was four years old. She had three older brothers - but the important part was that her brothers had a motorcycle. Every day her brothers would talk about riding the motorcycle somewhere in the hills, not far from Ghulja. And every day little Rukiye would beg them to take her along. Ethan Gutmann did three days of interviews with Rukiye - a tiny fraction of the interviews he did in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Turkey with Uighur subject to state-sponsored organ harvesting - and witnessing the decimation of their families. This book will push your face and your heart into the ugly world of organ harvesting. We are talking abut now......not yesterday.
