Police arrest kidney thieves in quake zone
Dean Nelson and Mohammad Shehzad, Islamabad
POLICE in Pakistan have arrested a gang of Afghans who were caught
removing kidneys from the bodies of Kashmiri earthquake victims. The four
men were discovered carrying a freezer box containing 15 organs from
corpses trapped in rubble.


NI_MPU('middle'); As aid agencies penetrate deeper into Kashmir’s remotest
valleys in search of survivors, the Afghan gang and other kidney traders
have been racing to find dead bodies and survivors willing to sell their
own organs.
The earthquake three weeks ago killed more than 57,000 people. The
disclosure that organ traffickers are at work in the area came as relief
agencies warned that they were fighting a losing battle to prevent
thousands more deaths from hypothermia when the snows arrive next month.
According to Save the Children, 750,000 people — including 300,000
children — are without sufficient shelter. “Time is running out,” a
spokeswoman said.
“These 300,000 children are at critical risk of exposure to winter
weather. Snow has started to fall in some parts of the earthquake affected
villages and overnight temperatures are dropping far below freezing.”
In the town of Bagh, close to the earthquake’s epicentre, a handwritten
note was pinned to the entrance of one tent in a temporary camp saying

remotest valleys in search of survivors, the Afghan gang and other

willing to sell their own organs.
The earthquake three weeks ago killed more than 57,000 people. The
disclosure that organ traffickers are at work in the area came as relief
agencies warned that they were fighting a losing battle to prevent
thousands more deaths from hypothermia when the snows arrive next month.
According to Save the Children, 750,000 people - including 300,000
children - are without sufficient shelter. "Time is running out," a
spokeswoman said.
"These 300,000 children are at critical risk of exposure to winter
weather. Snow has started to fall in some parts of the earthquake
affected villages and overnight temperatures are dropping far below
freezing."
In the town of Bagh, close to the earthquake's epicentre, a handwritten
note was pinned to the entrance of one tent in a temporary camp saying
"kidney for sale".
It had been posted by a 33-year-old man who gave his name only as
Rumzan. His brother Bashir had been crushed in the rubble when the quake
struck, leaving Rumzan to care for seven children in a small tent.
"Some months ago I heard on BBC radio that a woman in Dhaka had put up
an ad to sell her one eye to support her family," he said. "This gave me
the idea to sell my kidney."
A kidney broker in Bagh said that he knew of Rumzan's intentions and had
found a foreign client willing to pay =A32,400 for the kidney. His
commission for fixing the deal will be =A3600.
"Rumzan is lucky to get a foreign client," the broker said. "Had it been
a local client he would not have got more than =A31,200.
"I will take Rumzan to Lahore, along with his family, to have his pre-
operative tests and to sign legal papers. I will take care of his every
need until the kidney is donated."
It was unlikely that the organs were in a fit state for any successful
transplantation, but the men had planned to sell them to hospitals in
Lahore and Rawalpindi. They had been working as jobbing butchers in
Peshawar and were said to have believed that the kidneys would make
their fortunes.


India and Pakistan agreed last night to open five crossings along the
militarised border separating them in Kashmir. The move is intended to
help earthquake victims
