Sydney University Forced to Reveal Emails in Chinese Organ-Donation Link Scandal

February 8, 2016

(Sydney Morning Herald) – The head of China’s organ-transplant program cautioned the University of Sydney that controversy over his appointment to an honorary position could damage reforms to end China’s horrific practice of removing organs from executed prisoners. The university has been forced to release internal emails about its reappointment of Dr Huang Jiefu, then China’s vice-minister of health, as an honorary professor between 2008 and 2014, despite protests from some staff the university shouldn’t be associated with China’s organ-transplant program.
