Baby rescued from infant trafficking in central China (1/3)

Lai Guofeng (L) and his wife, the newborn's parents, show an iPad displaying a photo of their baby rescued by police from an infant trafficking in central China's He'nan Province, at the Fuping County Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Aug. 4, 2013. On July 17, a gynecologist surnamed Zhang from Fuping County Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, allegedly sold the newborn to a man and woman from neighboring Shanxi Province, surnamed Pan and Cui, for 21,600 yuan (3,494 U.S. dollars), according to the county's public security bureau. Police found that Zhang lied to the mother of the baby born on July 16, telling the mother that her child had a congenital infectious disease and disability, then the gynecologist tricked the mother into letting her handle the baby. By far, Zhang, Pan and Cui have all been detained by police. (Xinhua/Cui Yongli)
