Police in the northern mountain province of Son La’s Moc Chau District have arrested a woman for trafficking her ​daughter, a nephew and other local women to China.

Poor young women in the remote areas are easy to become victims of human trafficking, police say.

The woman, identified as Mua Thi Chi from Tan Lap Commune’s Ta Phinh Village, confessed to police that she was a victim of cross-border human trafficking three years ago. 

To earn some money, upon her return from China, Chi sold her daughter and nephew.

She also proceeded to dupe two local women to sell them to Chinese men.

On Thursday, Chi was set to catch a bus to take the two women to China. Fortunately, the police arrested her in time and rescued the two victims.
