Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security has arrested and initiated legal proceedings against eight members of an illegal ring that trafficked children to China.
The suspects were charged for trafficking people under 16 years old, an official from the Ministry of Public Security confirmed on Monday.
Officers have also identified four other women involved in the racket.
As they are pregnant and raising young children, the women have been sent to local social protection centers.
According to a preliminary investigation, police in Hanoi and the northern province of Cao Bang inspected multiple locations on the night of February 25 and rescued four newborn babies who were about to be sold to China.
