Chinese sex workers are saying that the police are physically assaulting and arbitrary detentions and extortion. The HRW or also known as the Human Rights Watch are being brought into HIV testing and are trying to re educate them about it. In China prostitution is illegal and so the government is feeling the need to "crack down". It is said that the people who are in prostitution are becoming more vulnerable. A report is said that there are near 140 interviews that people have made with sex workers, police and specialists. The sex workers are saying that they were beat by the police and that the police did it because they wanted them to confess to prostitution. One of the sex workers told the HRW that the police tied them to trees and threw freezing cold water on them then beat them. Apparently the police just wanted them to sign their name and say they wouldn't do it again and they would be let go after a few days. If you do not sign your name will be locked up in an Education center for around 6 months.

83 year-old taken?
83 year-old Victoria Kong vanished after getting off the plane that was coming from Barbados. The last she was seen was when she was walking on foot after arriving at Reagan National Airport. She was seen as if it were she was walking to D.C while her family was waiting for her at the baggage claim area. Search dogs were brought in and they have said that Kong had traveled to Roosevelt Island by foot and never had left. Her family is in concern that she is on her own and that she is hungry and cold and she doesn't know what to do. She does not know how to call herm or how to get a hold of her family to let them know if she is okay or not. Her family is afraid she does not know that they are looking for her. Her family had told the press that she had signs of dementia. She was supposed to have been taken off the flight by wheelchair and brought to her family but it is said that she just walked off the plane alone with no one.
