Human rights group opposes use
of prisoners for organ transplants
Decorating on a Dime: You’re on your own! Now’s your
chance to create the room of your
dreams. T.J. Maxx can help design your

towels and bath accessories.
BEIJING (AP) — Executed
prisoners are the source of
most organ transplants in Chi
na, and the donors sometimes
are still alive when their or
gans are removed, a human
rights group says.
Executions appear to be
scheduled according to trans
plant needs, Human Rights
Watch-Asia said in a report
scheduled for release today. It
said prisoners’ consent is rarely
sought or is coerced in the last
few hours before death.
In some cases, kidneys have
been removed from prisoners the
night before their executions,
and some executions have been
deliberately botched to keep the
bodies alive longer and improve
chances of organ transplant suc
cess, the rights group said.
In other cases, medical per
sonnel attend the execution and
swiftly remove the organs after
death is announced, it said.
The number of executions in
China is a state secret. But Hu
man Rights Watch-Asia said
"tens of thousands” of people
have been put to death since
1983, when the number of death
sentences began to grow under a
series of anti-crime crackdowns.
Corruption and drug-traffick
ing are among crimes punish
able by death.
A secret Communist Party di
rective in 1983 said some anti
government actions were pun
ishable by death, Human Rights
Watch-Asia said. But it noted
that no executions of dissidents
have been reported in the past
15 years.
The group cited government
documents, medical journal arti
cles and statements by doctors
and others as evidence that exe
cuted prisoners are the source of
most organs used in transplants
in China.
Chinese government offices
were closed Sunday, and a tele
phone call for comment was not
answered.
The government long denied
that executed prisoners were
used as a source of organs, the
report said. But it said that in
1993, China told the U.N. Com
mittee Against Torture that or
gans occasionally were removed
with prisoners’ consent.
Human Rights Watch-Asia
said Chinese trials often are
unfair — including coerced con
fessions and the growing useo!
torture in the 1980s — leading
to a high risk innocent people
are executed and become organ
donors.
The group urged China to ban
the use of prisoners’ organs, and
said foreign governments should
bar their citizens from getting
organ transplants in China and
should stop cooperating in Chi
nese transplant research.
It also urged China to abolish
the death penalty.
Executions in China are usu
ally by a bullet to the back of
the head.
Human Rights Watch-Asia
said families either are notin
formed about the organ donation
or are threatened with largt
bills for the prisoner’s food, oth
er expenses and even the costo
the bullet if they refuse consent
Kidneys and corneas are the
‘‘overwhelming majority”
transplants in China, there
port said.
An estimated 1,400 to 1,
kidneys from executed prisoner
were used in transplant opera
tions in 1992, and the numbet
probably has increased since
then, the rights group said.

Pilot deliberately crashed plane, killed 44; report says
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — A suicidal Royal Air
Maroc pilot disconnected his plane’s automatic pi
lot and deliberately crashed, said a report today
from the commission investigating the crash that
killed 44 people.
Examination of the plane’s recorders showed
that pilot Younes Khayati “disconnected the auto
matic pilot and directed the aircraft toward the
ground,” said the commission, formed by Trans
port Minister Rachid el-Rhezouani.
The accident “is due to the deliberate will of the
pilot who wished to end his life,” the statement
said.
The twin-turboprop ATR-42 was on a I
from the southern city of Agadir to Casablanci
when it crashed Sunday about 20 miles north ol
Agadir about 10 minutes after its 7:00 p.m. take
off.
