Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 18:54:18 GMT From: Chris Burford <cburford-AT-gn.apc.org> Subject: M-I: 431 children rounded up List subscribers will be glad to hear that 431 children have just been successfully rounded up by Russian authorities in the city of Ekaterinburg, home of Yeltsin. Because of rising tuberculosis associated with the "social upheavals" following the "collapse of communism" (BBC), three times a year the authorities collect the children from rubbish dumps, waste ground etc. Among the latest batch of children, mostly orphans there were various illnesses including sores and sexually transmitted diseases.
