The slaves from Shanxi - follow up

"Can we take this Henan child with us?" I asked. "That is unacceptable. I spend 400 yuan to buy him."

ESWN translates more of the media reports on the Shanxi-slaves here. The issue is - rightfully - still high on the agenda.

Just settled down in Brasschaat, Belgium for the coming weeks. Struggling with bad connectivity and and host of thousands of RSS-feeds and twitters I have to go through. Will try to catch up by Monday.

Update I: Shanxi governor offers his apologies.

Update II: First two official arrested.

Update III: ESWN translates a case story of a now famous kiln in Hangdong county.
