Default Re: Chinese official given death penalty for corruption

China has terrible human rights violations relating to the treatment of prisoners and the death penalty. This also includes allegations of live harvesting of prisoners for organ transplants. That is prisoners not convicted of the death penalty but in labour camps for political crimes or crimes of organisation (large % are falungong) who are taken to military hospitals have there organs removed then are cremated. This is because they refuse to identify themselves so they don't implicate their families.

There is a lot of corruption in the prison system, not so much in the legal system though.

I just read a pretty interesting report about all this but it was mostly just about falungong and I think it exagerated the problem as specific to them rather than extensive human rights abuses that are entrenched with in the military and prisons.
