Hubei plans mission to rescue kidnapped children
By Wang Huazhong (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-06-22 07:47 An operation to rescue 10 babies from the clutches of kidnappers is being planned by police in Hubei province. Officers investigating human trafficking on cross-provincial trains said they suspect the children are being held in Shexian county.
![]() A rescue plan involving 30 police officers attached to the Wuhan Railway Administration is to be launched in the next few days, they said. It is the biggest operation since the Ministry of Public Security launched a nation-wide crackdown on the abduction of women and children on April 9. The railway probe began on June 11 after police rescued several babies on four separate occasions aboard the K111 train from Kunming in Yunnan province to Wuchang, Hubei, between May 31 and June 9, highlighting a major human trafficking route from Yunnan to Hebei province via Hubei.
"Abductors tend to choose the railway as means of cross-provincial transport because trains are crowded with people from various backgrounds, which is the best cover," said Li Biao, an officer from the public security bureau in Guiyang, Guizhou province. "Railway police on the train have the advantage of being able to act quickly when they see something suspicious." |
