China News Doctor probed for baby trafficking scandal

A doctor is under investigation for infant trafficking in Fuping county, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, Chinese Business View reported. The doctor surnamed Zhang is suspected of trading new born babies at a maternal and child health care hospital in Fuping county after a baby boy went missing on July 18. It is said that Zhang asked the parents to "give up the boy" with a fake test report showing the mother had syphilis and hepatitis, which would infect the baby and "bring huge economic pressure" to the family. The baby's father, surnamed Lai, who has just graduated from primary school, said he believed the doctor and signed his name on the delivery record as he was too nervous and confused. The record said the baby had deformity, which was not mentioned by doctor Zhang earlier. The baby was reportedly removed before the mother could see him. "Zhang said the baby had infectious disease and I shouldn't get close to him," the father said. "I only looked at him through the delivery room and kept taking care of my wife. After that she said the baby had been disposed and we never see him." The mother of the baby, surnamed Dong, was proved to have no virus after a check at another hospital. And Zhang has not been seen since. The family has been questioning the hospital and reported to the police. As of August 1, seven similar cases have been reported at the hospital involving Zhang. Police in Fuping have confirmed the case as a group trans-provincial child trafficking. Three people have been arrested and doctor Zhang is under investigation.

Snowden granted 1 year's temporary asylum in Russia

Snowden granted 1 year's temporary asylum in Russia MOSCOW - Fleeing US intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden has received temporary asylum in Russia for one year, and has moved to a safe place, a lawyer assisting him said Thursday. Snowden granted 1 year's temporary asylum in Russia A picture of fugitive former US spy agency contractor Edward Snowden in his new refugee documents granted by Russia in Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport August 1, 2013, is seen in this still image taken from a video filmed by Rossiya 24 TV Channel.[Photo/Agencies] "I have just delivered documents to him from the Russian Federal Migrant Service (FMS)," the Interfax news agency quoted Anatoly Kucherena as saying. Kucherena said the documents allowed Snowden to move freely within Russia and the former intelligence contractor had left the transit zone for a location that would not be disclosed. "I hope you will treat this vague information with understanding ... the safety issue is a very serious one for him," the lawyer said. The FMS confirmed the granting later in the day. "One of the district subdivisions of the Federal Migration Service Department for the Moscow region has decided to grant Mr. Snowden the status of temporary asylum," FMS spokesperson Zalina Kornilova told local media, adding the Snowden case was nothing special. "I emphasize that this is not a unique case, so, over a thousand people applied to district subdivisions in 2013 alone, so far," Kornilova said. Snowden's whereabouts after leaving the transit zone remain a mystery. According to Kucherena, Snowden would choose where he lived. "He can either live in a hotel or rent a flat," Kucherena said. Currently, Snowden had no "immediate plan" to fly to Latin America, Kucherena said, adding the former US spy agency contractor would stay in touch with his family. "I am finishing paperwork on the invitation to his father. He will come and we will be able to discuss all issues personally," the lawyer told a local TV station. On Wednesday, Snowden's father, Lon Snowden, said in an interview with a Russian news channel he hoped his son could find protection in Russia, and he would come to Moscow. Snowden arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo international airport on June 23, and has reportedly been stranded in the transit zone since then as his passport was revoked by his government. He faces espionage charges after disclosing a classified intelligence surveillance project code-named PRISM. President Vladimir Putin, calling Snowden "a transit passenger" who had arrived in Russia without invitation, has repeatedly said Moscow is not going to harm its relations with Washington, and that Snowden must handle his affairs "without our involvement." According to the president, the relationship between Russia and the United States "is more important than any intelligence scandal." Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Thursday Moscow was aware of the atmosphere created in United States over Snowden, but had not received "any signals" regarding the cancelation of US President Barack Obama's visit to Russia in September. Local experts said the possible impact of the event on Russia-US ties was foreseeable, as Snowden would have crossed the Russian border sooner or later. The US was unlikely to take any steps that would seriously harm bilateral ties, they said.
