Media Accuse Israelis 1
Of Baby Smuggling

Rio De Jeniro, Brazil (JTA)
— Charges against an
Israeli couple caught in an
illegal attempt to smuggle a
baby out of Brazil have
escalated into what might be
termed a high-tech blood
libel.
An Israeli woman, Sipirit
Friedman, and an Israeli
man, Alon Benjamin, said to
be her friend, were arrested
last week along with six
Brazilians on baby-
smuggling charges.
The woman had been
stopped at the Rio Interna-
tional Airport, where she
was attempting to board a
plane for Europe; in her
arms was a 15-day-old baby
who had false registration
papers.
Local media soon pounced
on the story, announcing
that agents of the Division
for the Protection of Chil-

the assistance of Interpol,
had been tracking a gang
specializing in illegally
shipping babies to Europe
and Israel.
Once in Israel, these
reports accused that the
babies were having their
organs removed and sold for
transplants.
The arrests of Ms. Fried-

man, Mr. Benjamin, and the
six Brazilians were linked to
the police's ongoing attemp-

sellers.
According to the Israeli
Consulate in Rio and the
newspaper Jornal do Brasil,
the source of the accusation
linking the Israeli couple
with the ring selling babies'
organs was Walter Alves de
Oliveira, the director of the
Division for the Protection of
Children and Adolescents.
But Mr. de Oliveira said
that neither he nor the Divi-
sion for the Protection of
Children and Adolescents
had made the accusation
regarding selling babies'
organs in Israel.
"We have no proof of sell-
ing organs in this case," he
said. "But we do have proof
of an attempt to illegally
remove a baby from Brazil to
a foreign country."
Ms. Friedman, who is be-
ing held in a prison for wo-
men in Rio, claimed she
came to Brazil to adopt a
baby with documentation
legalized in Israel.
She denied participation in
any organ-selling plot, ad-
ding that she already has
one adopted Brazilian child.
She said she is awaiting
