The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 30
Párrafo
Paragraph text
There is growing evidence that Sudanese migrants making their way to Europe with the help of smugglers are allegedly being targeted for organ harvesting in Egypt. Smugglers detain them in Cairo and demand large sums of money for travel and other costs. Victims are often deceived into consenting to sell their organs or are unaware that their organs will be removed as a way of discharging the alleged debt (see A/HRC/20/30). In 2011, 57 such victims, including five children, reported a deterioration of their health and negative social, economic and psychological consequences following the experience.
