More evidence of what a ghastly
dictatorship China is comes from today’s Daily Mail newspaper in the UK.
The Mail examines the case of Feng Jianmei,
who was forceably injected with a chemical to induce the abortion of her
seven-month-old child.
This sounds like the sort of thing the
Nazis got up to. The reason Feng was thus brutalized was because she already
had a child.
Local birth-control authorities ordered her
to pay a fine of £4,000 as a punishment for becoming pregnant again.
She didn't have the money, she said, so a
team from the local family planning authority in Shannxi province came to
collect her from her home and take her to hospital for the forced abortion.
Recounting the horror, Feng said she told
the family planning department she could not pay the fine because her
mother-in-law needed money for cancer treatment.
At the hospital she was restrained and
given an injection that would be lethal to the foetus. None of her family was
allowed to be present during the traumatic time, she said.
Feng said that her father-in-law heard
about her being taken away but when he rushed to the hospital he was prevented
from entering the obstetrics ward.
Local media said it was most likely that
Feng had been injected with a chemical commonly known as Lifannuo – a powerful
bactericide used in the late 1980s and early 1990s when China’s one-child
policy was strongly pursued by authorities.
Human rights in China? Not likely.
