Illegal Organ Trade in Oman: Implications for Tourism and Business Compliance in the Hospitality Sector
On the occasion of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) has urged the public to report any suspicious activities or violations that may indicate exploitation.
In an official statement, the Directorate General of Criminal Investigations and Research revealed that it has observed multiple cases this year, highlighting the existence of organized criminal networks employing various tactics to ensnare victims.
One notable incident involved the arrest of individuals of Arab and Asian descent who entered Oman as tourists. These individuals were allegedly involved in promoting human organ transplantation outside the Sultanate, targeting vulnerable patients in urgent need of transplants, particularly those requiring kidneys.
