Yes. It appears so. But it's so horrific, no one wants to talk about it. In December 2018 The Tribunal issued an interim judgement: “The Tribunal’s members are certain – unanimously, and sure beyond reasonable doubt – that in China forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has been practiced for a substantial period of time involving a very substantial number of victims.” https://chinatribunal.com/final-judgment/ https://chinatribunal.com/final-judgment/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/17/china-is-harvesting-organs-from-detainees-uk-tribunal-concludes https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/17/china-is-harve... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-30324440https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/23/asia/china-organ-harvesting/index.html https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-30324440https://ww...

Harvesting organs from prosecuted groups is, allegedly, a common activity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Falun_Gong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Falun_Gong

  As horrifying as it is, it seems a relatively recent staple in our world. Most recent public example was Kosovo ( https://balkaninsight.com/2015/09/04/kosovo-organ-trafficking-how-the-claims-were-exposed-09-04-2015-1/ https://balkaninsight.com/2015/09/04/kosovo-organ-traffickin... ). It is hard not get depressed.

Some unknown but probably large number of people is executed in China every year. Some of them are Uyghurs. For organ transplantation, a corpse is a corpse, whether they died in a traffic accident or were executed doesn't matter (except probably execution by poison as practiced in the US). So yes, executed Uyghurs are used as organ donors in China, but the causality is inverted: they're not killed for organ harvesting, they have their organs harvested because they were killed.

  Execution dates are set based on organ demand and surgeon availability. It really is that shitty.

  You have many comments sympathetic to the CCP. Your suggestions on the topic of organ harvesting are unsubstantiated, and significant evidence has been presented to the contrary.

    > You have many comments sympathetic to the CCP. I do? What gave you that impression? I oppose death sentences on principle (hard to reverse in case of wrongful conviction), so I would count my comment above as unsympathetic to the CCP. > significant evidence has been presented to the contrary Evidence that Uyghurs would not be killed if there was no shortage of organs for transplantation? What evidence?
