A Chinese mother was detained by police for seeking compensation after her child was partially paralyzed by a vaccine, the Chinese-language Epoch Times reported on March 23.

Local authorities in Henan Province, China, said that He Fangmei would be jailed for 15 days for alleged “disorderly behavior.” On March 21, at the end of the detention period, she was not released by police and her family did not receive any information from the authorities.
