Human traffickers smuggle people, harvest their organs and sell them in black market


#organsnatchers #humantrafficking #organharvesting The lid has been lifted on a racket of human traffickers who would smuggle people into Britain to harvest their organs and sell them in the black market. This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 7 March 2015.
They are the organ snatchers.
It seems two people of African or Asian origin – one of them was a boy as young as 12 and the other a woman in her 30s – had been brought into Britain last year. They had been smuggled into Britain to have their organs removed and sold on the black market. This has been revealed in an official report and it reveals the extent human traffickers will go to make money from their dirty practices.
The racket survived on the global demand for human organs.
They were rescued by British police or immigration officials who suspected they were being trafficked. It brought out the fact that these weed instances of international people-smuggling.
Incidentally, the first incident of illegal ‘organ harvesting’ in Britain had been reported in 2011. Subsequently, two years later a Somalian girl was brought with the intention of removing her organs and selling them to patients who were desperate for a transplant.
According to statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), as many as 7,000 kidneys are illegally obtained by gangs each year around the world. The demands are there for human organs like hearts, lungs and livers but, kidneys are the most sought-after organs. This is because one can transplant a kidney from a patient without any serious ill-effects.

British rapists get off lightly - 90 set free in last 4-years with a tap on the knuckle


Rape is a heinous crime all over the world and laws to punish rapists are many and varied but, it now appears that in Britain 90 rapists have been set free dailymail.co.uk over the last four years with, what is known as, a tap on the knuckle. Rape is a crime where the male forces himself upon a female without her consent in order to indulge in physical contact for sexual gratification and pleasure or, at times, for inflicting torture – that reveals the dark side of his mind and shows the mindset of a deranged individual. It seems thousands of such rapists have got away in Britain with just a slap on the wrist even though ministers insist that cautions are ‘inappropriate’ for serious offences. As per recently published records, the British police issued almost 15,000 for offences that would typically result in jail – including 2,279 for sexual assault, 783 for robbery and 11,347 for burglary. But, the ‘sentence’ of cautions for grave crimes was undermining the faith of the public in the ability of the justice system to properly punish offenders. Just for records, in 1971, only 6 per cent of offenders were given a caution, which carries no sanction except a reprimand. The figure reached 20 per cent by last year, though this was down from 31 per cent in 2007. As per the statistics made public by the Ministry of Justice following a Parliamentary question, it seems there were 181,000 cautions issued last year which meant the offender avoided being hauled before the courts – including 29,560 handed out to criminals by the Metropolitan Police. In the opinion of Peter Cuthbertson, of the Centre For Crime Prevention, a caution is never acceptable for crimes like rape or robbery because, in that case, there would be a violent offender free outside and not in prison where he should be.
