Kseniia Petrova, a researcher from Harvard Medical School, has been charged with attempting to smuggle frog embryos into the U.S. after arriving at Boston's Logan International Airport. The charge could result in severe penalties, including a significant prison sentence and financial fines. Her attorney claims the government is unjustly portraying her as a danger, especially given her work in cancer and aging research. He argues that the situation represents a significant overreach by the government, noting that the biological material was non-hazardous and could have been handled with a fine rather than criminal proceedings.
The charge against Kseniia Petrova stems from allegedly trying to smuggle frog embryos into the U.S., potentially leading to a 20-year prison sentence.
Her lawyer argues the government's sudden move to transfer Petrova indicates an attempt to unjustly justify detaining a scientist working on critical research.
