19 children freed in trafficking case

EIGHTEEN suspects have been arrested and 19 children freed in two human trafficking cases in southeast China's Fujian Province since Wednesday, police said at the weekend.

Police were tipped off last December that a ring including Su Tonghui, a 29-year-old woman, and several others, was trafficking children out of the southern province of Yunnan. A months-long investigation found ring members trafficked children from Yunnan to cities in Fujian, selling them there.

Police raids in Fujian last week led to the arrests of 15 people in Quanzhou and the freeing of nine children in Quanzhou and Sanming.

In another case, a suspected ring member confessed to trafficking more children than earlier revealed.

This led to the arrests of three more people and the freeing of 10 children in the city of Sanming.

Last year, police arrested 11 suspects and freed 49 people, in the case that involved the regions of Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.
