Chinese AIDS sufferers put on house arrest

In recent HR news, China has placed many people infected with HIV/ AIDS under house arrest in order to keep them from petitioning the National People's Congress for compensation they may be entitled to due to a government scheme to profit from blood sales that went awry (some of the blood sold was infected w/ the AIDS virus). These people (23 cases documented thus far) were not only forbidden to leave their homes, but were also denied essential healthcare as well as any imdemnification. So essentially, the Chinese government is not only responsible for the numerous infections that occured in the first place, but is also refusing those people any compensation or even the right to plead for it....pretty lousy
