Beijing - An upcoming trial for four Chinese men on charges of organ trafficking has ignited a public outcry, prompting authorities to enforce laws regarding organ transplants.
Led by a former organ donor surnamed Liu, the suspects allegedly organized four liver and kidney donations. Their new business foundered, however, when they were taken to court in December by a "donor" claiming back pay, according to the Haidian District Procuratorate in Beijing, which is handling the case.
