A horrific incident of organ trafficking has shocked the residents of Mansoor Koor, a village in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. An unknown group of criminals kidnapped a 10-year-old boy from his home and took him to a deserted castle, where they extracted his kidneys and left his body to rot.
The boy’s family and neighbors discovered his corpse two days later, after searching for him frantically. They were devastated by the sight of his mutilated body and the signs of torture he had endured.
The villagers staged a protest on the main road of Kandahar, demanding justice for the innocent child and an end to the rampant organ trade in the region. They accused the local authorities of negligence and complicity in the crime, and called for an immediate investigation and arrest of the culprits.
The organ trafficking industry is a lucrative and illegal business that preys on the poor and vulnerable people of war-torn Afghanistan. According to a report by the United Nations, hundreds of Afghans are lured or coerced into selling their organs every year, often under false promises of jobs or medical treatment. The organs are then smuggled across the border to Pakistan, Iran or India, where they are sold to wealthy buyers.
The Afghan government has enacted laws to regulate organ donation and transplantation, but they are poorly enforced and often ignored by the corrupt officials and criminal gangs. The victims of organ trafficking have little recourse or protection from the law, and face stigma and discrimination from their communities.
The tragic case of the boy from Mansoor Koor has exposed the dark reality of organ trafficking in Afghanistan, and has sparked outrage and grief among the public. The villagers have vowed to continue their protest until they get justice for their lost son, and hope that his death will not be in vain.
