Submitted by michael.lrf on

Today, Laogai Research Foundation released its latest action report “Bodies on Display: The Risks in Trading in Human Remains from China.” You can download the report here. This current report details the controversy surrounding Premier Exhibition, Inc., the use of “unclaimed” Chinese bodies in its traveling exhibitions and provides ideas for future action. Key topics discussed in the report include:

• China’s prolific execution of prisoners and the sale of their organs and bodies for profit
• A case study detailing the risks run by foreign corporations who trade in human remains from China
• Government action taken on these suspicions to date
• Possible courses of future action to raise awareness of the bourgeoning black market trade in bodies from China
