Four other accomplices were
sentenced to eight to 13 years in prison or to death with two years' probation.
Child traffickers Li Bifang, Jiang Chengpu, Yuan Guiyuan and Liu Weibing will
be executed.
The boys they abducted were all between 2 and 6 years old from Fuhai, a town
in Kunming, capital of Yunnan. The convicts sold the children in Puning, in
Guangdong Province.
The crimes occurred between August 2003 and June 2004. Li and Yuan were
captured by public security officers while reselling the children on June 6,
2004. The 19 boys were returned safely to their parents.
