Bodies Revealed exhibition accused of putting executed Chinese prisoners on show | Mail Online – The Mail on Sunday covers Dr David Nicholl’s claims that ‘The bodies of executed Chinese prisoners are being used in a ghoulish exhibition of ‘plastinated’ corpses’ – the Bodies Revealed exhibition at The Custard Factory. I went along on Saturday but unfortunately must have just missed Dr Nicholl, who went to the exhibition to ask ‘a simple question – “Can you guarantee the bodies are not those of people executed in China?”.
Meanwhile, The Stirrer has featured The British Liver Trust’s recent withdrawal of support from the exhibition:
“We didn’t really feel we could be certain they had come from an ethical source…We’re taking the exhibition off our website, and hope they’ll take our name off their website”.
