不列颠哥伦比亚省警方秘密收集库尔德社区成员的 DNA。 British Columbia police secretly collected DNA from Kurdish community members.

2018 年，不列颠哥伦比亚省警方伪装成茶叶营销人员，秘密采集了约 150 名库尔德社区成员的 DNA，以侦破一名 13 岁女孩被谋杀的案件。 British Columbia police secretly collected DNA from about 150 Kurdish community members in 2018, disguised as tea marketers, to solve the murder of a 13-year-old girl. DNA 是在库尔德新年庆祝活动中获得的，当时警方在编号杯子中分发了免费茶样，随后对这些茶样进行了 DNA 检测。 The DNA was obtained at a Kurdish New Year celebration, where police handed out free tea samples in numbered cups that were later swabbed for DNA. 这导致易卜拉欣·阿里被捕，他于 12 月被判犯有一级谋杀罪。 This led to the arrest of Ibrahim Ali, who was convicted of first-degree murder in December. 陪审团没有被告知综合凶杀案调查组监视阿里的原因。 The jury was not informed why the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was monitoring Ali.
