Uighur-American politician slams China's alleged trade in 'halal organs'

Xinjiang (China), June 24: The situation regarding the treatment of Uighurs in China is deeply concerning and has given rise to serious allegations of human rights violations, including forced organ harvesting.

In March, during a US Congressional committee hearing, experts claimed that Chinese authorities had collected genetic information from the Uyghur Muslim minority, with the aim of supporting a forced organ transplant program targeting to attract Muslim medical tourists from the Gulf States.

In an article on As part of the Uyghur genocide, China harvests the organs of Uyghurs and sells them as “halal organs”. In 2014, nearly a million Uyghur children were forcibly separated from their families. Is this a new step in China's ongoing Uyghur genocide and notorious organ harvesting practices? »

There have been allegations and reports from various sources, including human rights organizations and individual testimonies, suggesting that Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in Xinjiang have faced severe repression, including forced labor, mass detention and possibly forced organ harvesting.

These allegations are serious and require thorough investigation and accountability.

According to the Minnesota-based nonprofit “A World Without Genocide,” Uighurs are being killed for their organs to meet the demands of a lucrative transplant industry valued at about $1 billion a year.

These allegations are serious and have been raised by various human rights organizations, investigative journalists and testimonies from people claiming to have been affected by or have knowledge of such practices.

However, due to the secretive nature of the Chinese government and limited independent access to Xinjiang, it remains difficult to verify these claims with concrete evidence.

International bodies and governments have called for investigations into the allegations, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability from Chinese authorities.

Advocacy groups continue to monitor the situation closely and press for international monitoring to ensure the human rights and dignity of all those affected are protected.
