Experts and professional bodies in Australia are urging the New South Wales government to investigate a controversial exhibition in Sydney featuring flayed, plastinated human corpses sourced from China. They say the human corpses and body parts on display could be the remains of executed prisoners, including prisoners of conscience.
The Australian Lawyers for Human Rights (ALHR), the NSW Bar Association, alongside other medical professionals, academics, and civil organisations, sent an open letter (pdf) to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian calling for an immediate investigation into the ‘Real Bodies’ exhibition, currently running at the Entertainment Quarter in Sydney until Sep. 16.
