“A Chinese court awarded damages to the mother of a rape victim after she was sent to a labour camp for demanding her daughter’s attackers be punished, a spokesman said on Monday. Tang Hui, who became a figurehead for critics of the ‘re-education through labour’ system after she was condemned to 18 months in a camp, won a total of 2,641 yuan ($430) following an appeal, a court spokesman surnamed Zhang told AFP. The court in Changsha, the capital of the central province of Hunan, awarded compensation on the grounds that local authorities had violated Tang’s personal freedom and caused her ‘psychological damage’, Zhang said.”
