POLICE in Hangzhou, capital of eastern Zhejiang Province began to investigate online allegations that a kidney trafficking gang housed many kidney sellers in a residential complex in Jianggan District.
The anonymous post on www.qq.com claimed that nearly 30 young men who were either in debt or wanted to earn quick money were waiting for surgery and cash payment of 35,000 yuan (US$5,533.5) for one kidney.
The post said the gang picked up sellers in railway stations, took them to hospital for physical examination and provide them accommodations as they wait for a kidney removal surgery.
Three sellers have been escorted to underground kidney transplant clinics in Kunming and Guangzhou in southern Yunnan and Guangdong provinces.
Nearly 1 million Chinese need kidney transplant but only about 4,000 of them were lucky to have a transplant last year. The shortage of donated kidneys has led to a boom of underground kidney transaction.
