“Organ trafficking continues to flourish because criminals exploit shortages of organ donors.”
Rumours are flying around about illegal organ harvesting from
fighters in Ukraine. There are reports
from the NAF that a scouting team encountered a mass grave with 100 of bodies,
with their organs missing. The details
cannot be verified but there are strong suspicions.

It is quite possible for criminal enterprises in Ukraine to
take advantage of the conflict, possibility given a carte blanche by some high
up, to carry out organ operations, given that certain Ukrainians have been implicated
in similar enterprises connected with Kosovo. The photos linked to this article
do come from Ukraine, more than likely from Chechenia!
The beginning - Kosovo
and organ theft
Information on the issue of illegal traffic in human organs,
(harvesting), from prisoners in 1999 & 2000, carried out by the KLA, (Army
Liberation of Kosovo or UCK in Albanian), is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_theft_in_Kosovo
Post-war Kosovo is a known hub for illegal transplantations,
this became readily apparent, when Dr. Lutfi Dervishi, manager of the “Medikus”
clinic was arrested in 2008 and put on trial in Kosovo. He was involved in
illegal organ transplantations for money.
Interestingly, there was a Turkish & Israeli patient at the time of
his arrest. http://www.mpb-ks.org/?page=2,46,28
Also arrested was a
Turkish doctor, Dr. Yusuf Sonmez, who himself had been involved in numerous
illegal organ transplants, in Turkey & in Kosovo.
“It gradually emerged
that dozens of impoverished donors had been trafficked into Kosovo from several
countries, including Russia, Moldova and Ukraine.”
As a part of a wider international investigation, a group of
4 Ukrainian doctors were arrested by Azeri and Ukrainian authorities.
A summary of the court case, involving a number of
individuals from Israel, Eastern Europe & the former Soviet Union: is here:

So we have Ukrainians doctors and middlemen involved in
international organ harvesting; proven by a number of police investigations in
Kiev. Furthermore, the OSCE carried out
a report and within its findings, we find that organs of Russian donors were
also used at the Kiev Institute of Surgery and Transplantology. Back in 2011, Ukraine was considered as one
of the top places for illegal organ transplants: http://www.bioedge.org/index.php/bioethics/bioethics_article/9807. Here is another highly disturbing report
from 2012, as reported in Australia:
Go further back, to 2005, again, http://samvak.tripod.com/brief-organ01.html,
where it mentions:
“According to news
agencies, in August 2002, three Ukrainian doctors were charged in Lvov with
trafficking in the organs of victims of road accidents. The doctors used
helicopters to ferry kidneys and livers to colluding hospitals. They charged up
to $19,000 per organ.”
Ukraine is at the centre of a long standing illegal organ harvesting
and trading centre. Organised crime syndicates organise the trade, which is
amply abetted by businesses, government officials, doctors, lawyers and
hospitals.
“Two Ukrainian recruiters for the Kiev ring -- Ruslan
Yakovenko and Ievgen Sliusarchuk -- told Yafimau by e-mail that selling a
kidney was a painless way to earn $10,000, according to an October 2010
indictment.”
While the illegal organ trade may be run by seasoned
criminals, it depends on the complicity of doctors and hospitals, says Oleg
Liashko, a member of Ukraine’s parliament.
“I doubt this could happen without the hospital and doctors
knowing about it,” says Liashko, who has investigated organ trafficking and is
calling for more-severe criminal penalties in organ transplant laws. “They
either know or look the other way because of the money involved. This is
corruption, pure and simple.”
The Israeli
connection
As can be seen in the Kosovo court judgement, nearly all of
the recipients were Israelis. An Israeli
was also implicated & arrested in this case: http://www.interpol.int/notice/search/wanted/2010-39875
“Israel has an acute
shortage of organs, in part because of religious beliefs. Just 12 percent of Israelis
are registered donors,” so this opens the door to illegal organ
transplants, (Kosovo, Ukraine, Turkey).

Israeli businesses such as Avigad and Etgar were heavily
involved in the organ trade, as shown in the Kosovo Medikus court case. It didn’t stop at Kosovo since Israelis were
also involved, including those with dual Israeli & Ukrainian citizenship. http://www.haaretz.com/meta/Tag/Israel%20organ%20harvesting
The organs were then
allegedly transferred to Israelis in need of a kidney transplant, which cost
over $200,000, said the head of the Ukrainian organization for combating human
trafficking during a press conference following the arrests.
Ukrainian police
estimated that the network made a gross sum of $40 million.
Back to Kosovo - Collusion
at the top?
Serbian reporters asked Bernard Kourchner, former top UN
representative in Kosovo, as in the video below, what he thought of the illegal
traffic in human organs from prisoners, carried out by the KLA, which had just
been revealed by Dick Marty in a report that he prepared for the Council of
Europe " Kourchner dismissed them with a laugh. Lien en français:

To conclude: “That
ring worked with another gang in Kosovo led by an Israeli of Turkish descent,
investigators in Ukraine and Kosovo say.”
