Death Sentence for Child Trafficker Upheld as Court Rejects Final Appeal.

Go to Article

The death sentence for a woman convicted of child trafficking has been confirmed by a court in China. The high-profile case dates back to the 1990s. The Guizhou Provincial High People’s Court on Thursday denied the final appeal of Yu Huaying, a 60-year-old found guilty of trafficking at least 17 children between 1993 and 1996.

Earlier this year, Yu was initially convicted of trafficking 11 children, but a retrial revealed her involvement in the sale of 17 minors. In addition to the death penalty, the court permanently revoked Yu’s political rights and ordered the confiscation of her assets.

Yu’s activities only came to public attention in 2022, when victim Yang Niuhua reported her to authorities in Guiyang. Yang, who was trafficked for 3,500 yuan in 1995, had been searching for her family and shared her experiences online. Her parents had died after her abduction, but she managed to find other relatives.

Yu’s illegal endeavors reportedly began with her own son, whom she sold for 5,000 yuan in the early stages of her criminal activities. She was assisted by her partner, Gong Xianliang, who died shortly after Yu’s arrest, escaping trial.

According to the trial court, Yu operated a “complete criminal chain” across regions, including Guizhou, Yunnan, and Chongqing, selling children through intermediaries in Hebei.

In the United States, child trafficking has become a major issue at the southern border, with thousands of unaccompanied minors being trafficked from Mexico. Around 85,000 children have gone missing after being placed with sponsors by the Biden-Harris regime, some of which are thought to be linked to people trafficking. Overall, as many as 291,000 illegal immigrant children have gone missing under the Biden-Harris regime.

Donald J. Trump pledged to lobby for the federal death penalty to be expanded to human traffickers in 2023, shortly after hosting a screening of the anti-trafficking film Sound of Freedom.
