印尼破獲利用社交媒體販賣嬰兒的案件

Four Indonesians have been arrested over an alleged baby-selling operation using Instagram.

近日，四名印度尼西亞人因涉嫌利用Instagram出售嬰兒而被捕。

An account, now removed, which claimed to be a family welfare agency posted images of pregnant women, ultrasound scans and babies.

Instagram上聲稱自己是一個家庭福利機構的賬號，發佈了孕婦、超聲波掃描和嬰兒的照片，目前該賬戶已被移除。

A telephone number was provided so potential buyers could make contact via WhatsApp, said police in Surabaya.

印尼泗水市的警方稱，在提供完電話號碼後，潛在的買家就可以通過WhatsApp進行聯繫。

"People who want to adopt children use that account and the transaction is completed through WhatsApp," Col Sudamiran, Surabaya's chief detective, was quoted by Detik as saying.

Detik網站援引泗水市首席偵探蘇打米然的話稱：“想要收養小孩的人會瀏覽這個賬號，交易則通過通訊軟件WhatsApp完成。”

According to Detik, the account was posing as a consultation service, offering to solve family problems.

據Detik透露，該賬號僞裝成一個諮詢服務，提供解決家庭問題。

The Instagram account, with more than 700 followers, features pictures of babies with their faces blurred out, along with details of their age, location and religion.

該Instagram的賬號擁有超過700名粉絲，上面有臉部模糊的嬰兒的照片，還有他們的年齡、地址和宗教信仰等信息。

The account also features screenshots of alleged conversations between the operator and clients.

此外，該賬號還有一些運營者和客戶的聊天記錄截圖。

Police said at a news conference that they had arrested four people after intercepting a transaction that was due to have taken place on 3 September.

當地警方在一場新聞發佈會上表示，他們攔截了一筆原定於9月3日進行的交易，隨後逮捕了四名犯罪嫌疑人。
