The use of the corpses or organs of executed criminals must be kept strictly secret, and attention must be paid to avoiding negative repercussions... A surgical vehicle from the health department may be permitted to drive onto the execution grounds to remove the organs, but it is not permitted to use a vehicle bearing health department insignia or to wear white clothing. Guards must remain posted around the execution grounds while the operation for organ removals is going on.
In Han regions the organs of executed criminals of minority nationality shall in principle not be used. In regions where there is a concentration of minority nationalities, the funerary customs of minority nationalities should be respected when implementing these rules.
