A mother who petitioned for justice for her 11-year-old girl gang raped and forced into prostitution was released this morning after she had been imprisoned in a labor camp in central China's Hunan Province for nearly a week, local authorities said.
Tang Hui was sent to the Reeducation Through Labor Center in Yongzhou City on August 2 to serve an 18-month sentence for "seriously disturbing social order and exerting a negative impact on society" after she protested in front of local government buildings and courts, claiming police had falsified evidence to get lighter sentences for defendants.
Tang "blocked cars and the entrances of the buildings and shouted out loud" on seven occasions between March last year and July this year to demand death sentences for the men charged with gang raping her daughter and forcing her into prostitution, according to police announcement.
She filed an appeal on August 7, and the center accepted her appeal since her daughter, now at the age of 17, is still a minor and requires her mother's care, provincial publicity officials said.
Tang's claim that the municipal police falsified evidence is also under investigation, they said.
