China: villagers sign petition to banish boy with HIV

Story here

From the article:

A photo from a People Daily's online report shows the boy, Kunkun, watching villagers unanimously vote for his removal in a meeting held in early December. Even his own grandfather, has added his own name to the petition.

"Kunkun is diagnosed with AIDS, causing great fear among the villagers and village children. In order to ensure the safety of villagers and children, we demand that authorities quarantine Kunkun for treatment," the petition reads.
