Myndigheterna i Egypten har hitta ett ställe som under tre års tid sålt ca 300 babysar i babytrafficking affärer.
Kvinnor som velat göra lagliga aborter men kommit för sent och gått för långt i sina graviditeter och i stället fått lämna i från sig sina födda babysar som i sin tur sålts vidare för 300 egyptiska pund.
Av de tre personer som arresterats är en läkare och två sjuksköterskor.

The babies were reportedly sold to childless couples after Caesarean sections were performed on women carrying unwanted children.
Babies were said to have been sold for up to 3,500 Egyptian pounds($570;£360).
According to Egyptian media reports, women who had come forward too late for an abortion were offered a Caesarean section and their babies were then sold on, apparently at a profit.
Abortions are lawful in Egypt if the mother's health is at risk.
Only a limited form of adoption is allowed, to the extent that children cannot take the name of their adoptive families.
Trade in such a black market in babies would have enabled couples to avoid Egypt's legal restrictions, the BBC's Kevin Connolly in Cairo reports. "
