Hangzhou, China – A undercover journalist recently exposed an illegal distribution agency of human kidneys. From May 14th to 28th, he posed as a kidney seller and stayed with an agency called “Kidney base of Hangzhou” where he witnessed the process to human organ trafficking.

In China, the kidney selling network has been running like a pipeline with high-efficiency. The unified pricing of a kidney in the black market was around 35,000 yuan (about USD $5515).

The whole process begins when the donors arrive at the train station. They will be sent to a lodging to complete a series of medical checks, blood tests, and then sign the agreement. Qualified donors will be “shipped” to another location and waiting for operations. Cell phones will be taken away, and personal freedom are restricted in case anybody changed their mind.

The donors are often reluctant to mention why do they come to sell their kidney. It is all covered by silence, cigarettes or frolics. One of them said ” I used to think selling one’s own kidney is a terrifying thing to do, haven’t thought about me now being one of them.”

In China, illegal organ trade spread to a vast underground network nationwide. On May 26, 2012, two donors left Hangzhou, one to Kunming, the other is sent to Guangzhou. For many people, selling their kidney is like a lifesaving straw, but it is a way one cannot turn back for others. FMN

Chen Guangcheng’s interview with CNN in New York

New York, U.S. – Chinese blind activist Chen Guangcheng interviewed with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday (May 24, 2012) morning in New York. He talked about his escape from Dongshigu village and the current situation of his nephew Chen Kegui, who is accused of murder when defending himself against the local thugs.

During the interview, Chen mentioned that he felt returning to freedom. He said “I haven’t been able to feel the nature for a long time, on that day I had some time to soak in the sun and feel the breeze. I just felt I hadn’t been able to do that in so long. I have missed out for too long.”

When asked why he chose to fight against Chinese government, Chen said “It is human nature. I think trying to stop the evil and to embrace the benevolence is human instinct.”

Chen prefer to use the term “illegal detention” instead of “house arrest” when asked to describe his life  after he was released from prison. He said it was hard to describe and his suffering was beyond imagination.

Chen confirmed the periodically beat toward his wife and him and would not give any details as it was an unpleasant memory. Many of Chen’s friends was under retribution after Chen and his family left China. Guo Yushan, who helped Chen after his escape from Shandong, is now actively monitored by Chinese National Security.

Chen Guangcheng said his nephew Chen Kegui is unlikely to be treated fairly by local Linyi government. His case should be taken by a court outside Shandong province. He believes the fact is clear in the case, but the key is whether the legal authority will act in accordance with the facts and laws.
