Subject: Surgeons arrested in Ukraine for selling transplant organs |

Donors were recruited and paid up to $10,000 for their
kidneys and other organs
Associated Press, Kiev
Thu 5 Aug 2010 19.27 EDT
Ukraine's interior ministry says four surgeons and four
others have been arrested for taking part in a scheme to
recruit organ donors from former Soviet countries and
transplant the organs into wealthy foreigners.
The head of the ministry's department on human
trafficking, Yuriy Kucher, says the scheme was headed by
an Israeli who was arrested last month.
Kucher said yesterday that they sought mostly kidneys
from people in Ukraine and other countries. Most of
those who sold their organs for up to $10,000 (£6,300)
were impoverished young women.
Surgeries were performed in Kiev, Azerbaijan and
Ecuador, Kucher said. The surgeries cost up to $200,000
apiece.Those arrested have been charged with human
trafficking and face up to 15 years in prison if
convicted.

Subject: Ukrainian Red Cross accused of involvement in harvesting children’s or |

The Russian Investigative Committee is looking into
allegations that the Ukrainian Red Cross Society is
keeping records of children with "healthy organs" in the
city of Mariupol.
This is significant because armed conflicts and illegal
human organ trade often go hand in hand. Military
actions are not just about solving geopolitical issues
and profiting off the arms trafficking.
Vladimir Taranenko said Ukrainian Red Cross has medical
records for over 1,000 children, marking their "healthy
organs" instead of any medical conditions or procedures.
He also said that some of the reading materials found at
the office were instructions on "how to use weapons,
including in a format intended for children."
Taranenko is the leader of the Donetsk-based civic
organization "Peoples Retinue," a volunteer movement
that is helping law enforcement in the Donetsk People's
Republic.
New Eastern Outlook reported last March that organ
buyer-ups and black-market transplant surgeons have long
become common elements of the military landscape, much
like mercenaries. (Related: Undercover investigators

Ukraine is a black market in organ transplantation
Podcasters James Bradley and Jeff Brown recently
discussed the latter's research on the latest
allegations of organ harvesting. "Jeff has done original
deep work and been preparing for this for days. I have
in my hand the article that [Jeff] sent me, translated
from Russian, and its name is 'Ukraine is a black market
in transplantation,'" Bradley said.

Russia finally was able to get into Mariupol and
liberate it and they are finding all kinds of evidence,
"and we're talking about organ harvesting," Brown said.
An extended investigation would be needed to confirm or
disprove events or statements made over the past few
decades and people can get some idea of the history
concerning organ harvesting in Ukraine by reading
articles published by Frontier Post and New Eastern
Outlook, aside from several resources that are available
online.
According to data published on the statistical
information portal Statista, presently more than 100,000
people are on the waiting list for organ transplants in
the United States and most of them are awaiting kidney
transplants. And there is a shortage of donor organs not
only in the U.S., but also in several other countries.
The major sources of organs for illegal trade are Third
World nations and hotspots. Many researchers said
Ukraine has become one of the primary centers of black-
market transplantations.
After the beginning of the Russian special operation to
demilitarize Ukraine in 2014, the progressing Russian
troops and the armies of the republics of Donbas found
mass graves that probably contain the remains of people
who were killed by members of the Ukrainian national
battalions. Several of them presumably became victims of
black-market transplants.
In the 1990s, Bogdan Fedak, the Lviv regional clinical
hospital chief doctor, founded a crime ring selling
children's organs to foreign nations, mainly to the
United States. An investigation concluded that about 130
infants went missing in Lviv.
In 2007, Ukraine watched a scandal involving Israeli
citizen Michael Zis, who was accused of practicing
black-market transplant surgery. Zis was detained in
Donetsk on request from law enforcement agencies on
October 13, 2007.
The thriving illegal organ trafficking in Ukraine
started to gain prominence as early as 2014, when
reports of disappearances started to emerge after the
start of an anti-terrorist operation in the east of the
country. Simultaneously, mobile hospitals started to
appear across the country.
Madina Jarbussynova, the Organization for Security and
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) special representative for
Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, alleged on
September 29, 2014 that the mass graves found in Donbas
contained bodies with missing internal organs.
However, the OSCE released a statement on October 30,
2014, stating that Jarbussynova's comments had been
taken out of context and she was simply mentioning two
Russian NGO reports about the likely removal and sale of
human organs in Eastern Ukraine. "The OSCE does not
possess any evidence regarding possible organ harvesting
in Eastern Ukraine," the statement said.
In 2015, an American transplant surgeon "working" in
Odessa, Donetsk, Slavyansk and Kramatorskh revealed
blood-chilling details of the mass removal of organs in
Ukraine through a video posted online.
