Police rescue 22 kidnapped children

CHINESE police have cracked a series of major cases concerning child abduction, arresting 40 criminal suspects and rescuing 22 kidnapped children.

The Ministry of Public Security said yesterday that 30-year-old Su Tonghui and other leaders of a gang involved in human trafficking were discovered kidnapping children in southwest China's Yunnan Province and selling them in the southeastern Fujian Province.

Police authorities in the two provinces simultaneously dispatched more than 200 police officers on Wednesday to arrest gang members and rescue the kidnapped children.

The ministry said several major suspects were arrested, including Su Tonghui, 28-year-old Su Tonglin, 43-year-old Mao Xingkai and 25-year-old Pu Jingcong.

Police located and rescued 22 children who had been kidnapped by the gang.

China launched a campaign to crack down on kidnapping and human trafficking in April 2009. As of March 14 this year, more than 13,000 abducted children and 23,000 women had been rescued.
