On the occasion of the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) has called on everyone to report any suspicious acts or violations that may lead to exploitation.

In a release, the Directorate General of Criminal Investigations and Research said that it has monitored several cases this year that revealed the presence of organized criminal networks using various methods to ensnare victims.


In one particular case, the Royal Oman Police arrested individuals of Arab and Asian nationalities who had entered the country for tourism purposes and were, in turn, promoting the transplantation of human organs outside the Sultanate of Oman, exploiting some patients in dire need of organ transplants, particularly kidney patients.
