MPs hear of 'troubling' cases of human remains being sold on Instagram London MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy said it was โ€˜abhorrentโ€™ for human remains to be sold on social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, eBay, Etsy and Gumtree

www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Well done to the BABAO sub group - trade and sale of human remains - for bringing this abhorrent trade to the notice of MPs.
