BEIRUT, (SANA)- The Lebanese ad-Diyar newspaper revealed that the
Turkish authorities are involved in trafficking the body organs of
injured Syrians who reach the Turkish territories.
In its issue on Saturday, the newspaper said the Turkish authorities
transport young Syrian injured of those who enter Turkey to hospitals
in Antalya and Iskenderun in cars guarded by Turkish police and
intelligence.
It added that the injured Syrians have their body organs excised
after being anesthetized to be later killed and mostly buried in the
Turkish lands or sent to the border.
The newspaper noted that the body organs of the injured people that
are mostly trafficked are livers, kidneys and hearts to be given
to people who are waiting for treatment in Turkey, according to
confirmed information.
A French doctor confirmed to Ad-Diyar that stealing of human body
organs of injured Syrians in Turkey has actually taken place.
The Lebanese newspaper pointed out that European scientific websites
known for their credibility revealed acts of stealing body organs
that took place at Antalya Hospital, noting that body organ theft
and transplantation operations have increased in Turkey over the past
two years since the beginning of the crisis in Syria.
It added that Syrian doctors who have come from Germany, France and
Belgium to treat the injured have found out about human body organ
stealing, but were prevented from getting any information by the
Turkish army.
Ad-Diyar stressed that Turkish doctors confirmed that out of 62,000
civilian and military injured people who were transported to Turkey,
body organs of 15,622 of them were excised, with the injured people
sent back to Syria to be buried.
The newspaper cited an incident when families of one of those sent
to be buried in Syria opened the coffin only to discover the truth,
noting that the Syrian doctors were prevented from seeing any of the
dead bodies inside Turkey.
Ad-Diyar said the World Health Organization has started an immediate
investigation into the issue and asked the Turkish Health Ministry
to provide a list of the number of organ transplantation surgeries
performed over many years for comparison and the names of the patients.
