Mexico: rumors abound of murder for human organs
Children and adults in Mexico are being murdered and their organs extracted.
In Mexico, approximately 45,000 children
and young people have been abducted. According to the Fides news
service, many are subjected to sexual exploitation. Rumors circulate
widely that children and adults are being subjected to the harvesting of
their organs.
Criminal gangs are mainly active in
Mexico City and the surrounding State of Mexico, as well as Veracruz,
Tijuana, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and in areas bordering the United
States, Guatemala, and Belize. The report contends that young people,
especially from Central America, are lured by criminal networks,
abducted, and then subjected to surgery by corrupt physicians in the
United States to remove organs such as kidneys and livers. The report
cited unnamed French and U.S. authorities.
Allegedly, victims range in age from 7 to
10 years. Younger children are often kidnapped for adoption. In order
to face this serious problem, the Mexican Foundation for the Research on
Missing and Abducted children have created a free campaign on the
phenomenon of child abduction in the schools in Mexico City, and the
states of Mexico, Veracruz and Puebla.
According to UNICEF, 1.2 million children go missing worldwide each year.
According to a report from Mexico, Dr. Fernando Lopez Neblina - a surgeon at a hospital in the border town of Mexicali
- said that Mexico's attorney general has never uncovered a single case
of forced organ harvesting. He noted that the procedure of organ
transplantation is very difficult and requires a specialized team of
physicians.
However, there have been cases where it
has been determined that organs, especially hearts and livers, have been
extracted from children for the purposes of esoteric religious rituals
linked to the cult of the so-called 'Santa Muerte' (Ed. note: Saint Death or Holy Death).
"There have been indeed cases of kidnapping of children and adults
where their organs have been extracted, but never for a transplant.
These organs are removed just anywhere as if they were animals and are
used for witchcraft. The Attorney General's office has discovered the
mutilated corpses of children in common graves, and I have seen corpses
whose hearts, liver and other organs have been ripped out; these could
never have been used for illegal trafficking," said Dr. López-Neblina.
Dr. Luis Carlos Rodríguez Sancho,
a transplant surgeon in Guadalajara, contends that there have been
sporadic cases of the murder of children for the purpose of extracting
organs and for rituals of propitiation involving the spilling of human
blood.

In April 2014, Security Commissioner Alfredo Castillo of Michoacan affirmed that member of the Caballeros Templarios
(Templar Knights), a narcotics cartel in central Mexico, uses human
hearts in its rituals. As a sign of loyalty, members of the cartel are
compelled to eat human hearts in the presence of the Templar leadership.
However, since that time, neither Castillo nor any other credible
authority has repeated or verified the claim. Beheadings, summary
killings, torture, rape and abduction, however, are all common practices
among the various cartels in prosecuting their turf wars against each
other, as well as against Mexico's military and law enforcement
agencies.
