Xinhua: Japanese arrested for trading human organs
A Japanese company in China's northeast Shenyang city was charged with illegal trading of human organs, and its juridical person, Hiroyuki Nagase, has been arrested, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said Tuesday. The company had posted messages on the Internet since 2004 under the name of "China International Organ Transplant Support Centre" to provide organ transplant services for Japanese patients, which was beyond its registered business scope. "Such an act has violated the Ministry of Health's regulations which ban the trading of human organs," Liu said. China's first set of regulations on human organ transplant, which prohibits organizations and individuals from trading human organs in any form, went into effect this May. Others involved in the case have also been detained and the case is still under further investigation, the spokesman added.

He's a dead man.

Will they execute a Japanese national? (...has a Japanese national ever been executed by China for crimes post WW2?)
Or just toss him in prison so he wishes he was dead?

You're probably right, but I doubt that the jurisdiction would permit it. I think that it would probably be better if the Chinese snuff this dude with large media coverage and Japanese government support.

Epoch Times: Behind the Arrest of Japanese Organ Broker in China

...Some consider the arrest as proof of the Chinese authorities' determination to regulate the notorious organ trade black market in China. However, the website of the International Organ Transplant Support Center stated that the large amount of organ trade is made possible and continuously supported by none other than the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) itself...The same website has been shut down and re-opened since the discovery of the large-scale organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners...

Nagase is the first person China has arrested with charges related to organ trading. The high publicity of the arrest has inspired speculation that the authorities' real aim is the bigger fishes behind the massive live organ harvesting. Nagase's IPC Information Service Co. was registered in December 2003. Since then the International Organ Transplant Support Center had served as a major portal for bringing numerous foreigners to China for organ transplants. The website did not provide information on the sources of the organs. According to a source from Japan, Nagase was arrested in mid September at Shanghai Airport. But the arrest was not announced until a month later during the CCP's 17th National Congress, one of the most sensitive periods for Chinese authorities. Considering China's customary lack of transparency and strict media censorship, as well as its careful avoidance and denial of organ trading, the noise it has made concerning Nagase's arrest is certainly unusual...

...Dr. Wenyi Wang, a pathologist who has been studying and protesting the CCP's organ harvesting since its discovery, pointed out that the CCP is trying to pass the buck again. Dr. Wang argues that though the website is under the name of Nagase's company it had been fully supported by the CCP, and had been used as an official government website. "The reason why the CCP used Nagase to run it," observed Dr. Wang, "is because they know organ harvesting is a sinister crime. Nagase's role is to be the scapegoat to be sacrificed when the crime is revealed, which is exactly what's happening now"

Dr. Wang's accusation seems to be backed by the statements on the center's website which expressed gratitude for the strong support from Chinese government without which "the huge numbers of organ transplants can not have been achieved." The website also mentioned relevant laws issued on October 9, 1984 in China which stated that the government supports the provision of human organs. As the website correctly concluded, China is the only country in the world that issues laws like this.

On its website, the Organ Transplant Support Center listed the typical waiting period for each major organ. According to the list, livers and kidneys can be provided within one to two weeks, with the longest waiting time of around one month; for hearts and lungs, the waiting period is about one month. Moreover, the website promised that if the organ found is not the right match for the patient, the center will find another one within a week.

Obtaining fresh organs in China is disturbingly easy and quick, especially when you consider that in all other parts of the world people have to wait many years for an organ transplant. Experts say that the only possible explanation is that a huge number of living people are used as convenient organ sources. According to the Center's website, China had conducted 85,000 organ transplants by 2006, and in 2005 alone 12,000 were conducted. This number is many times higher than that of executed prisoners in China according to official statistics...more...

Nah the japs would set him free once he got here like they did with the only cannibal murderer in the world ever set free!

BTW the thread title keeps making me think of a rogue (musical) organ peddler.

This [Hiroyuki Nagase] should be executed by Japan. . .

And have all his organs compulsorily donated to the people waiting patiently (excuse the pun) in line for some.
