13 women convicted in Cambodia of acting as surrogates for foreign clients

Thirteen women from the Philippines have been convicted on human trafficking-related charges for acting as surrogates in Cambodia for a ring selling babies to foreigners for cash. The women were each sentenced to four years in prison after being found guilty of selling, buying or exchanging a person for cross-border transfer, the Kandal Provincial Court said late Monday. According to the verdict, two of the four years in prison were suspended, meaning they won't have to be served unless they're found guilty of another crime. The women are held at a police hospital outside Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, and authorities have previously said they would not have to serve prison time until after giving birth. The women can appeal the verdict, said court spokesperson So Sarin. He refused to comment on how many were still pregnant, or what would happen to the babies after they have given birth.

Thousands to strike at Volkswagen's Germany plants

FRANKFURT, Germany — Thousands of Volkswagen workers were to go on strike Monday in an escalating industrial dispute at the crisis-hit German auto giant with thousands of jobs at stake. VW has been hit hard by high manufacturing costs at home, a stuttering shift to electric vehicles and tough competition in key market China. It has announced a plan to cut billions of dollars in costs. The powerful IG Metall Union and the workers council have fought to protect jobs since VW announced in September that it was weighing the unprecedented step of shutting plants in Germany, where it has around 120,000 employees. «Warning strikes will begin Monday in all plants,» said IG Metall negotiator Thorsten Groeger, announcing short walks-outs after the company had last week rejected the union's proposals for protecting jobs.
