The Ministry of Public Securi- ty said prosecutors were prepar- ing cases against the suspects, suggesting charges have yet1 be filed. Its statement posted onlir said 5,000 police across 10 pro inces cooperated for six montl on the investigation and mov in to arrest the suspects la week. Child trafficking is big pro lem in China, where tradition preference for male heirs an a strict one-child policy h driven a thriving market in bal boys, who fetch a considerab higher price than girls. Girls at women also are abducted at used as laborers or as brides f to unwed sons. Tens of thousands of children ne go missing every year, though v- the exact numbers of victims are hs difficult to obtain. ed The rescued children will st be put into orphanages while authorities try to reunite them b- with their families, the ministry al said. It didn't give the age range nd of the abducted children or other as specifics. by State broadcaster CCTV aired ly footage showing female police nd officers cradling babies in their nd arms. The footage also showed or more than a dozen suspects handcuffed and escorted by offi- cers, or lined up outside a build- ing in Fujian province. Families who bought traf- ficked children would be for- bidden from keeping them, a ministry official told CCTV. "Those who have paid for these children must be punished by losing both the child and the money, so that the market shrinks gradually and eventual- ly, the number of child traffick- ing cases will be substantially reduced," Chen Shiqu, director of the ministry's human traffick- ing department, was quoted as saying. An investigation into a traf- fic accident in south China's Sichuan province in May led police to the first ring, which was allegedly selling children abducted or bought in Sichuan to buyers in central China's Hebei province and elsewhere. The ring had links to at least 26 gangs nationwide, the ministry said. The second ring was uncov- ered in August and was based in southeast China's Fujian prov- ince and led by a female suspect identified as Chen Xiumei. The statement said police have cracked more than 7,000 gangs or rings that sold women or children since a special cam- paign against human traffick- ing started in April 2009. It said 18,518 children and 34,813 women have been rescued. CHALLENGE From Page 1A video equipment, including a camera, tripod and microphone, valued at $15,000. According to the competi- tion's website, it was created as a part of the YouTube NextUp program, a development and funding program for potential YouTube partners. Austin Lau, who works for the YouTube Next Creator Programs, wrote on his blog that the finalists of the competition will now receive continuing education in culinary arts via the Google Plus Hangouts, Edwards, who grew up in Atlanta, has been cooking for her whole life with her family, but only became more interest- ed in cooking when she went to college at Clemson University and had to cook for herself. "You can only afford Burger King so many times," Edwards said. In her senior year of college, Edwards decided to become a vegan because of the health benefits. She taught herself how to make vegan food since vegan dining at restaurants was lim- ited. "I was gaining weight, which is the reason why I decided to try a vegan diet," Edwards said. "After I went vegan, I lost about 10 pounds, which for me, I wasn't that large, so 10 pounds was a pretty good chunk of weight." Last August, Edwards recog- nized that there was a disparity in cooking shows for vegans and started producingher own show to teach viewers how to prepare different recipes.. However, learning to make vegan food and recipes was a challenge at the beginning. "I used to have about a 50-percent recipe fail rate," Edwards said. "Cakes would fall, stuff just wouldn't ever rise, things would just fizzle and pop." 0 But as time went on, Edwards learned more about how to rem- edy problems with recipes for vegan diets, and now she rarely has recipe mishaps. As a School of Public Health student, Edwards wants to use her show to promote healthier eating, rather than pursue a culinary career. "I really want to use the Sweetest Vegan as a platformfor health promotion programs that I have," Edwards said. "I want to teach people how to cook at home ... I really want people to leave the junk food, leave the bad food, leave processed pack- aged stuff at home, bypass the fast food restaurant and come home and cook, and I would love to be the person to teach them how to do it, whythey should do it and hopefully see America get healthier." Obama, Clinton push for global gay rights President: Equal treatment of LGBT community is foreign policy goal SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Obama administration's declara- tion that it plans to use foreign assistance, international diplo- macy and political asylum to promote gay rights abroad is a momentous step that could dan- gerously backfire if not pursued with delicacy and an appreciation of how the challenges faced by gays and lesbians vary by nation, human rights activists said. President Barack Obama, in a memorandum to executive departments, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, during a speech before the U.N. Human Rights Council, issued a coordinated denunciation yester- day of anti-gay discrimination, stating that equal treatment of gay, lesbian and transgender peo- ple was an explicit U.S. foreign policy goal. The White House said the twin moves represented the U.S. government's first comprehen- sive strategy to combat sexual orientation-based human rights abuses around the world. Gay rights groups cheered the actions, noting that gays and lesbians can be arrested, tortured and even executed in some countries. Wayne Besen, founder of Truth Wins Out, a group that monitors religious organiza- tions with anti-gay views, list- ed Russia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda, Iran and Zimbabwe among the nations that had recently "declared war on sex- ual minorities" and said that he hoped they would be chastened by the administration's blunt talk. "This was one of those times where our nation demonstrated true international leadership and made me incredibly proud to be an American," Besen said. "There were no carefully crafted and focus grouped code words that sugarcoated the abuses - just the honest truth spoken from the heart." Other activists focused on gay rights internationally were more restrained in their praise. Neil Grungras, founder of the San Francisco-based organization for Refuge, Asylum and Migration, which represents gay asylum- seekers, said it was critical for the administration to secure allies on every continent to avoid looking like it was imposing American values on parts of the world that view the West with mistrust or hostility. Recalling how large demon- strations broke out in Pakistan in June after staff at the U.S. Embassyheld agay pride celebra- tion there, he said that Obama's sincere commitment to improv- ing the gay rights picture glob- ally could inadvertently make life worse for gays and lesbians abroad. "This cannot be seen as a U.S.- only issue because at the end of the day that would be counter- productive," said Grungras, who was in the audience for Clinton's speech. "In countries where U.S. moral leadership is not high and where increasingly Western values are negative ... there is a real danger people can use this issue and say, 'No, we are cleaning up here, we are going to reject this American imposition of decay."' ts
