A Chinese woman, now
39, has been backing out of a life-term jail sentence for 10 years – through 13
pregnancies. Even more surprising, it is not known if she actually had any of
the babies. Initially,
the woman – identified as Zeng by Chinese state newspaper People's Daily Online
– was sentenced to life behind bars for corruption in October 2005, in Urumqi,
northwest Xinjiang Autonomous Region.
Chinese media/RT report continues:
However,
she was with child at the time, so was given probation for the time of her
pregnancy. She had an abortion back then.
When the probation period ended, the woman told officials that she was pregnant
again.
Repeating
the pattern, over the last decade, she has been pregnant 13 times, with one
more claim proving fictitious.
It
remains unknown exactly how many times the pregnancies led to actual births.
Recently
the woman was finally imprisoned, almost 10 years after the initial sentence
was handed down.
