On the afternoon of Oct. 2, He Fangmei, mother of a child who was injected with a faulty vaccine, splashed ink on the door plates of her local county government to express frustration at the authorities’ refusal to hold the vaccine manufacturers accountable.
He is from Hui county, Henan Province. She was arrested by local police on suspicion of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” and was sentenced to administrative detention for 10 days. But, it was not enforced due to her pregnancy.
