POLICE have freed 22 women forced to become sex workers in a south China city, local authorities said. Six suspects have been arrested.
The women were lured by job promises to the city of Xiamen in southeast China's Fujian Province, where the suspects forced them to work in an entertainment parlor as sex workers, police allege.
Police raided the parlor in downtown Xiamen on Saturday after being tipped off by two abducted women who fled from a rented house on the outskirts of the city. The women were kept in the house when they were not working.
Police said the women they rescued were abducted from other parts of Fujian, as well as Henan, Sichuan and Chongqing.
Young rural women, eager for high-paying jobs in the cities, have become easy prey for human traffickers.
