To date 331 people, including nine children, were freed in Shanxi, bringing the total number of slave workers rescued in China to 548, including 217 freed in the neighboring Henan Province. The local government is contacting the families and the hometowns of the victims. Twenty-four suspects have been detained. Du said authorities have been given a deadline of 10 days to investigate every brick kiln, coal mine, iron kiln and interview every worker personally. Du asked local authorities to crack down on illegal kiln owners and other criminals with a firm hand and punish officials according to law. If local officials fail to save all the people before the deadline, they will face chargers of dereliction of duty, Du warned. Employers must provide necessary working and living facilities for their employees and pay salaries on time. No beatings, overtime work, or child workers are allowed, he said. Wang Dongji, Party branch secretary of Other county-level officials involved in the case are also being investigated. Wang Bingbing, the kiln owner, and three taskmasters have been detained. Police are hunting for three other suspects in five provinces. Police have rescued 31 people from slavery at the kiln. One worker was allegedly beaten to death last November. The Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MLSS), which will head the team, said preliminary investigations show the incident may involve abducted and forced labor. "The team will find out the truth as soon as possible, and we will go all out to rescue the workers who had been forced to work as slaves in the brick kilns," said Sun Baoshu, deputy minister of MLSS, on Friday. "The criminal offenders will be dealt with to safeguard the legal interests of the workers," Sun said. (Xinhua News Agency June 16, 2007) |
