ECPM et Solidarité Chine ont mis en avant les origines troubles des corps présentés, qu’ils soupçonnent d’appartenir à des condamnés à mort et à des prisonniers. « Il s’agit exclusivement de
corps de ressortissants chinois, masculins, jeunes, et ne présentant aucune pathologie
particulière, de sorte que l’hypothèse de la mort naturelle de ces hommes paraît improbable »

That’s why.
Because unclothed!
Do you also need a NSFW tag for steaks?
Do people need a NSFW tag for a commonly eaten food item? No, probably not.
Any other penetrating questions to ask?
Still a bloody part of a murdered being. The corpse in the picture is clean and was in all likelihood ethically sourced
