  • Mother Tortured, Police Send Homeless Child to Orphanage

    Yu Yaojin is a 48-year-old mother from Heilongjiang Province. She was arrested by police because she practised Falun Gong and sent to Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. As a result, the police sent her four-year-old daughter to an orphanage. During her detention Yu underwent severe torture and ended up with heart problems; yet she pined to see her daughter. Because of her determination, the labour camp allowed her to visit the orphanage. Sadly, the little girl had been so traumatized by her mother's sudden arrest and suffered such separation anxiety that she was no longer able to recognize her mother.
