Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A Chinese woman who lost her job and was pressured to have an abortion after she became pregnant has been imprisoned and tortured by Chinese officials who are tired of her complaints about her treatment.
Sixteen years ago, Mao Hengfeng was fired from her job at a soap factory after she became pregnant for a second time. She refused to have an abortion, which Chinese population control officials mandated.
Since then, Mao has continued to complain to the Chinese government about what happened, asking officials to allow her to return to work and to restore other basic rights she has been denied.
Instead, according to a Voice of America report, Shanghai authorities apprehended Mao and imprisoned her. In April, they forced her to an 18-month sentence of "re-education" in a concentration camp.
There, Mao has been subjected to brutal torture, according to Nicolas Becquelin of the humanitarian group Human Rights in China.
"According to the information that we received, she was bound, hand and foot and suspended in mid-air and subjected to beatings to her limbs and abdomen -- very severe forms of torture," Becquelin told VOA.
In addition, Mao's two daughters have been arrested and interrogated about their role in helping their mother fight her treatment.
In China, stringent population control regulations prohibit couples from having more than one child. Chinese officials force women to have abortions if they violate the policy and men are subject to forced sterilizations. |
