Stockholm, Sweden and disappearing Chinese children cable

Summary. Since November 2004, 120 Chinese children
have disappeared from Swedish immigration centers. In all
cases the children arrived in Stockholm via air from Beijing
or Moscow, immediately asked for political asylum, and within
days disappeared while their cases were pending. Swedish
officials have yet to discover where the children end up, but
investigative leads indicate onward destinations including
Denmark, Germany, Italy, France and the Netherlands. Law
enforcement authorities here believe a network of individuals
in several European countries supports this traffic. A
disheartening mix of legal "protections," and apparent
inadequate international cooperation, enables this phenomenon
to continue. End Summary.
