abducting and selling 46 baby

Two people have been sentenced to death in China for kidnapping and selling 46 baby boys for up to 40,000 yuan ($5,880) each.

The two were found guilty by a court in the southeastern city of Quanzhou for kidnapping and selling the children between 2007 and 2009.

Police saved the infants, who came from poor inland provinces and regions of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangxi, but have yet to find their parents, the report added.

A traditional preference for boys, especially in rural areas, and tight birth control polices have contributed to a rise in child trafficking in China in recent years.
