Police rescue 217 'slaves' in China

Thu Jun 14, 9:20 AM ET

Police said Thursday they had rescued more than 200 people, including
29 children, who were working as "slaves" in brick kilns, in a
shocking revelation of labour practices in booming China.

"We have rescued 217 people, including 29 children, from brick kilns
in Henan (province)," a police officer at the criminal investigation
department of the Henan public security bureau told AFP by phone.

"During inspections of the kilns we arrested 120 criminal suspects."

The police officer refused to comment further, nor would he confirm
widespread stories in the state press that human traffickers had been
selling labourers to brick kilns in Henan and neighboring Shanxi
province for months.

"The labourers were enticed or sent by human traffickers to the kilns,
but upon arrival were beaten, starved and forced to work long hours
without payment," the official Xinhua news agency said.

Press reports said that some of the children forced into slavery were
as young as eight years old, while photos of those who were rescued or
escaped showed groups of young children badly scarred from beatings
and underfed.

Children claimed to have witnessed workers being beaten to death for
refusing to work or working too slowly, the reports said.

According to the Southern Weekly, Henan police mounted an inspection
campaign involving more than 35,000 police on June 9, inspecting 7,500
kilns in Henan in the ensuing three days.

The checks only came after widespread reports in the press about
distraught parents trying to find their children in both Henan and
Shanxi, the paper said.

"I ran to over 100 brick kilns, and every one of them were forcing
children to work," the paper quoted Yang Aizhi, the mother of a
16-year old boy that had gone missing in March.

After failing to find her son, Yang returned to her home in Henan's
provincial capital of Zhengzhou, where in April she soon came into
contact with other families searching for missing children.

Children had disappeared at train stations, walking home from school
or out shopping, sometimes they were told they could make money and
were tricked into going along with kidnappers, other times they were
drugged, the report said.

According to the Beijing News, a Henan journalist who travelled to
brick kilns in Shanxi with the parents of missing children three
times, estimated that more than 1,000 children were working there.

The report said that local police protected the kilns and only allowed
the parents to take away their own children, resulting in the release
of about 40 kids during the three trips.

The paper cited the rescue of one boy named Zhu, who was later taken
away by a labour inspection department in Shanxi, only to be sold to
another kiln, the paper said.

Police in Shanxi were not immediately available for comment.

"I was at the Zhengzhou train station in early March, when a group of
traffickers drugged me and sold me into slavery," the Southern Weekly
quoted 17-year old Zhang Wenlong as saying.

Zhang said he worked from five in the morning to midnight, eating only
pickled vegetables and turnips three times a day and being deprived of
meat for three months.

"All we could do was watch the guards enjoying dog meat and beer," the
paper said cited him as saying.

"There was no way to escape, they had six dogs watching over us at
night."

it's really take some days that my article could be seen, I've almost thought it was disable ..hahaha....
em....I'm not very sure the news you received is talking about the same thing..but, yes ,there have some key words, Shanxi, brick kilns and slave, the news your received is talking about Police rescue those people, I think it's the newest report. the link I posted is talking about earlier thing before goverment's action: more than 400 fatheres were associated to went to those breck kilns in Shanxi to looking for their lost children, some of them found their children ,but otheres didn't. and in their journey, they found more children --and adult- working in those kilns, but they can't help them..
Anyway,now it's over and those people were rescued. I wish things such like this will never happening in the world and hope those people will forget the suffering they met, to have a happy living.
By the way,Daisy,I'm Joan...not John.....
