Chinese authorities have been accused of systematically separating Muslim children from their families in the far western region of Xinjiang.

EPA Refuses to Ban Dangerous Pesticide Chlorpyrifos Linked to Brain Damage in Children
Staff | democracynow.org | 2019-07-22
The Environmental Protection Agency will not ban the widely used pesticide chlorpyrifos–even though the agency's own research shows that it can cause brain damage in children. The substance is sold under the commercial name Lorsban and is banned for household use. But it's still used by farmers on more than 50 fruit, nuts, cereal and vegetable crops. The announcement came Thursday. The Obama administration said it would ban the use of the toxic chemical in 2015, but the rule never took effect.
