A 24-year-old was arrested at the illegal airport in occupied Tymbou for carrying four embryos in his luggage. The embryos were found in a special container labeled 'Life Pack.' The suspect attempted to leave for abroad without the necessary permission. Today, he was brought before the Nicosia district court, where a two-day detention was imposed.
