Tang Hui, a woman from south China's Hunan Province who had sued a local re-education through labor commission for putting her into a labor camp, had her request for compensation denied.

The mother had petitioned in front of local government buildings for a harsher punishment for those guilty of raping her daughter and forcing the girl into prostitution. She was then put into a labor camp in 2012. She was sentenced to 18 months in the camp, but was released eight days later amid a public outcry.
