The act of removing organs from POWs violates the Geneva Conventions, which protect the dignity and rights of prisoners of war. Such actions, if confirmed, could be subject to international prosecution and sanctions.
'If confirmed'? I'd think the body being returned without internal organs would be confirmation enough.
What other excuse could Putin use? That rats got to the body and only ate the heart, liver and kidneys?
The point is that it's not really confirmed. It's like if putin says that they returned pow's with boots up their asses, you wouldn't just assume it's true. I'm not saying it's not true, but it also seems like a lot of work just to be a dickhead. I would assume they didn't remove the organs in a way that they could be put to use again.
I'd wait until it's reported by bigger media channels with their reputation at the stake. Not only it's stupid, easily provable, heinous, inhumane, but it's also hard to carry it out, en masse and for no reason, with transplants being executed by select few clinics and less than a thousand of doctors. And having read a lot about prisons and army in USSR and modern Russia, I've seen a lot of morbid shit done to a living being, but yet to hear something about organized organ extraction from the dead. It also dawns on me that with how underfed and beaten POWs come back to Ukraine, there should've been a different camp to secure their health for their organs to be worth an operation.
Right now I mark it red but am open to rewiev that.
You are the second person to point that out. That's on me. No, I don't think they choose dead or dying for transplants because, yes, the conditions leading to death and degenerative processes starting right after that render organs useless.
In regards to the Palestinians/Israelis this appears to be a malicious lie. If you look into it you see weird claims like poisoning people to take their organs (this ruins the organs) and taking people from graveyards for the recently killed (you don’t bury people and then come back for their shit) .
The allegations being a mix of unlikely claims and provable lies suggests there is no merit whatsoever to such claims.
My unfounded conspiracy theory is that it is to hide certain torture and poisoning techniques. I have no knowledge on the subject, but it seems like a practical yet poorly thought out thing the orcs would do. Remove stomach and kidneys to hide stuff...then remove other things to obfuscate.
Also selling organs on various markets to fund their invasion....viable?
Not a doctor. But while probably true that some poisons could cause very visible damage to some specific organs (liver, kidneys), but if you know what you are looking for, you could most likely find it in fat tissue, hair, nails.
I feel making extra cash on the side for mister important army officer "because is hard life to live" is most likely.

You know what, I'm pretty sure we're going to hear some bullshit about "eastern worldview vs western world view" when it's really just violent nationalism.
The Russians are violating an agreement. When a party leaves an agreement, there is no longer an agreement. It is impractical for one party to abide by this specific agreement when that party suffers death as a result.
