Sadi was one of 24 people rescued by police in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. They had been imprisoned in a building in an affluent suburb, awaiting the forced removal of their kidneys. &#8220;There were 20 to 25 other persons sitting. I was told to shut up and be quiet and sit there. About 10 minutes later, the agent arrived and said get ready as I was going in for a test. I asked, &#8216;What type of a test are you taking me for? What type of work are you offering?&#8217;.&#8221; The traffickers wanted to test his kidney, and told him he would be given the equivalent of \u00a32,300 for the organ. Mr. Ahmed says he was &#8220;beaten up, not allowed to go out, we were padlocked in&#8221;. &#8220;We were threatened that the police would beat us up and we would be killed.&#8221; When police raided the building, Mr. Ahmed was saved just in time. He was due to have his kidney removed at a nearby hospital, called the Kidney Centre, a few hours later.
