Mao Hengfeng, who had been assigned without trial to 18 months "Re-education Through Labour" (RTL) after repeatedly protesting about various abuses of her rights, was released on 12 September 2005. Since her release she has continued with her protests and has suffered further abuses along with her husband, Wu Xuewei, who was reportedly beaten by the police and may face criminal charges. Both are at risk of further human rights violations, including arbitrary detention and torture or ill-treatment.
