Women, children sold
NZPA-AP Peking Courts in south-west China have sentenced 83 criminals this year for abducting and selling women and children.
a provincial radio station reports. "Since last year, under the pretext of recruitment of workers, tours, and match- . making, a small number of criminals in some places in Daxian prefecture have deceived and seduced a small number of girls, married women, girls who are under age, and students who attend school outside the province, and have sold them in faraway places,” it said.
Rural bachelors and childless couples have been reported as the buyers.
Last week, a Communist Party directive called for stern measures against “the tiny number of criminals who abduct and sell women and children, lure and coerce women into prostitution, print and sell obscene books and pictures, organise gambling sessions for profit, and use feudal superstition to swindle and harm people.”
