AsiaNews: The authorities in China’s predominantly Muslim Uyghur northwestern province of Xinjiang planned to force six native women to undergo an abortion for “violating” the government’s one-child policy.
Despite the new policy by the central government, easing the one-child policy, doctors in Hotan Prefecture injected the women with a drug to induce miscarriage.
“We had planned to perform forced abortions on six women. Four of them have already undergone the abortions,” said Momin, deputy chief of Hotan’s Arish Township.
“One more woman is waiting in hospital to undergo the abortion while another woman has escaped before undergoing the process,” Momin added. More here.
