Homecoming migrants still struggling for tickets(3)

The couple's plight has drawn widespread attention.

"The case has been misjudged," said He Bing, vice president of the law school of China University of Political Science and Law.

"Indeed, the couple were not authorized to sell tickets because they did not have a license for such business operations," said He. "But they only bought tickets for people in need and charged a reasonable price, which is normal practice in a market economy."

He said the police should release the couple.

With the clamping down on unlicensed sales it only makes it harder for people like Wang Yougong to find a way of getting home.
