judge has sentenced five people to 7 years of
temporary labor for 7 years after they extracted the left kidney of one of
their relatives, promising him a "good fortune."

The court issued its decision during a public session and fined
the
defendants 5,000 dinars each. It was proven to the court that they received
10,000 dinars each as the price of the plaintiff's kidney, as reported by Al
Ghad.
The court found that the defendants, including two foreigners,
were involved in
human organ trafficking, having convinced the plaintiff to lie
to the Turkish medical committee and claim that he worked in Kuwait for the
person who wanted to transplant his left kidney.
The plaintiff initially met with one of the defendants, who is the
brother of his wife, in a park in the
Zarqa Governorate. He told him that he
had a "good fortune" for him and that he would receive JD10,000. He
obtained a passport and an airplane ticket for him, and they traveled to
Turkey. There, they met with others, including the main criminal in the case.
Once information reached security authorities that the victim had
sold his kidney, he was contacted and transferred to the
Anti-Human Trafficking Unit. The Public Prosecution began its investigation, which led to the
identification of five individuals charged with committing the crime of human
trafficking in accordance with the provisions of Article 3/b and by virtue of
Article 8 of the Anti-Human Trafficking Law.
According to the law,
human trafficking includes recruiting,
transporting, harboring, or receiving individuals for the purpose of
exploitation through threats, the use of force, abduction, fraud, deception,
abuse of power, or taking advantage of a vulnerable state, as well as giving or
receiving financial amounts or benefits to obtain the consent of a person who
has control over these individuals.
