Mother, Father and One-Year-Old Child Imprisoned by Qinhuangdao City "610 Office" Personnel
2004-05-01
It is very possible that in present-day China no one would believe that someone would be detained merely for wanting to be a good person and for not wanting to renounce ones beliefs. Yet, this miscarriage of justice happened to a family of three: husband, wife and their one-year-old daughter. All three were detained in prison. The mother, Liu Aihua was sent along with her one year old child to a detention centre for 23 months followed by a brainwashing centre for more than a year. -
