China's sex workers
============
HONG KONG (AFP) - Chinese sex workers are being subjected to widespread abuse by authorities, including beatings and torture in police custody and detention without trial, Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday, May 14.

"Sex workers are treated as if they have no rights," the international watchdog's China director Sophie Richardson told a press conference in Hong Kong during the launch of a report on the subject.

"Rather than being protected by police, sex workers are regularly subjected to beatings, ill-treatment and torture in custody," she said, adding they could be detained in "re-education through labour" camps for up to two years without trial.

"I was beaten until I turned black and blue because I wouldn't admit to prostitution," said one woman, named Xiao Yue in was quoted as saying in the report.

Another told how she and two other sex workers had been tied to trees by police, had cold water thrown over them and were then beaten.

The report said some of the abuses suffered by sex workers in custody "constitute torture under domestic law".

It added that the government periodically carries out vigorous nationwide crackdown campaigns against prostitution and pornography, including raids on sex worker venues and the detention of large numbers of women.

Sex workers who have reported crimes against them, including rape, have themselves been arrested after revealing to police what they do for a living, Richardson said, as prostitution of any kind is illegal under Chinese law.
