Egyptian security services have arrested two people in Cairo for offering their infant daughter for sale on Facebook. The two were arrested as they were selling the infant in exchange for a sum of money in Cairo’s al-Waily neighborhood. A mobile phone containing many messages and text and voice conversations about the sale was found in the woman’s possession. The suspects admitted that the infant was their daughter, and that they had a birth certificate for her confirming them as her parents.
