BEIJING (Reuters) - China's millions of poor migrant workers face widespread, institutionalised discrimination and abuse of their human rights and the government is not doing enough to protect them, Amnesty International said on Thursday.
An estimated 200 million migrant workers -- who in recent years have flocked from the vast, poor countryside to the booming cities -- often lacked proper health care, may have their pay withheld and were vulnerable to exploitation, the report said.
