A Myanmar woman trafficked to China seven years ago and who bore four children while in captivity has been returned to her family, RFA reported.

The 47-year-old woman, whose leg had been broken by her captors, was found by Chinese police and transferred to Myanmar authorities in the border town of Muse in Myanmar’s northern Shan state on Nov. 1, they said. She was then sent back to her home in Bago city in central Myanmar’s Bago region on Sunday.

Her relatives requested that RFA’s Myanmar Service not publish the name of the woman.
