An Israeli national was arrested at Ercan airport in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus after authorities found four embryos in tubes labelled “life parcel” inside his luggage while he was attempting to leave the country.
Police said the embryos were linked to an IVF centre reportedly operating illegally in northern Cyprus, and that the suspects attempted to remove embryos from the territory without the required permits. Two more people linked to the clinic were also arrested as investigations continue.
