Dear all,

We wanted to share the media links below from the last month covering organ harvesting in China/Bristol's twin city Guangzhou and organ harvesting. The coverage is global, national and local. On the BBC, Bristol Post, and in Forbes.

We are aware that the Mayor of Guangzhou is in Bristol visiting the Bristol Mayor and in City Hall this week. This deeply troubles us.

  Good to see this tremendous coverage and hopefully it will act as a deterrent to the increasing numbers involved in organ tourism to China.
  
  Please feel free to pass on this information.
