‘Ready to sell my blood’: Kurdistan’s online black market in human body parts
2019-12-16
The wild, wild East...
[Rudaw] "Ready to sell my blood, which is O+," the Facebook post reads. The page’s profile picture features a human kidney.

Hamid*, who posted the message along with his phone number, is a divorced father of one, living in Baghdad. His mother has cancer and he needs money, fast. He decided to put a kidney up for sale and said he got multiple offers ranging from $10,000 to $25,000.

The man buying his kidney also lives in Baghdad, but the surgery will take place in the Kurdistan Region’s northern city of Duhok.
