TWO men in northwest Gansu Province were sentenced to jail for making money by duping two teenagers into selling their kidneys.
The two convicts surnamed Yang and Xie met two youngsters while traveling in Xi'an, the provincial capital, and coaxed them into selling their kidneys and offered them 93,000 yuan (US$14,768), a local newspaper reported today.
Yang told them that removing one kidney would do no harm to their health and they could earn a large sum of money. Yang and Xie then forged the two boys' identifications for the surgery.
The two kidneys were sold to unknown patients in a hospital in Gansu. The pair earned 170,000 yuan from the illegal organ trade, according to local police.
Yang was sentenced to eight years and Xie got six years. The hospital was ordered to pay the two teenagers 720,000 yuan in damages.
It is reported that Yang has made an appeal to a higher court.
