The dubious Albanian-language portal "readkoala.com" has published an article claiming that Kosovar doctors who were selling children have been arrested.
After fact-checking analysis conducted by hibrid.info, it appears that this article contains a false title and that it no longer matches the content in the text.
The news is from January, published on the BBC and translated by the Albanian portal "joq-albania.com", which writes that this event occurred in the state of Ghana.
However, this dubious portal has also included a photo with this article that does not match the content, showing the Emergency Room facility at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo (UCCK). Thus, falsely claiming that the incident is related to Kosovar doctors.
Excerpt from the text of the article published on "readkoala.com":
Walnut St.ØThere are our doctors who sold children for 4800 euros.
Today, 11 people have been arrested for baby trafficking. The 11 suspects include doctors, nurses and social welfare officers.
The latter were arrested after allegedly carrying out operations at health facilities in the capital Accra and the neighboring city of Tema.
