Ajdini, who allegedly sold her baby. «I was received in a small Thessaloniki hospital by a doctor around 50 years old, with blond hair, who spoke some Albanian,» the statement said. «Without any preliminary examination, he made me enter the operating room straight away and I had a cesarean. Afterward I was treated at the clinic worse than a dog.»
