Jail terms for gang who sold women
Print Edition
WHEN Nguyen Thi Tuyen and Ban Thi Thuy went to a hotel near the China-Vietnam border to work as prostitutes, their nightmare began.
When the Vietnamese pair went to the hotel in Dongxing in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in January 2013 they were attacked by men dressed as police officers who tied them up and drove them to neighboring Guangdong Province.
In Guangdong, they were sold to a gang that organizes prostitution.
Nguyen and Ban were among 16 Vietnamese women kidnapped and trafficked by 11 people between November 2012 and March 2013.
Yesterday, their captors received their punishment.
The Guangxi Higher People’s Court upheld verdicts sentencing Xie Zongliang to life imprisonment, Deng Liwei to a jail term of 14 years, and nine others to between two and 13 years behind bars.
The court heard that Xie and Deng entrapped the Vietnamese women by pretending to ask for sexual services. Once the women were in the hotel rooms, other defendants, disguised as police officers, took them to Guangdong and sold them.
The court heard that each Vietnamese woman was worth 10,000 yuan (US$1,612).
“The profit could be as high as 3,000 yuan excluding the cost of fuel when carrying them to other cities,” said Xie Naiwen, a gang member.
The defendants claimed they were not aware that “introducing” the women to buyers was illegal.
