Woman seeks pay for false conviction

A woman who was wrongfully jailed for about 13 years is seeking state compensation of nearly 10 million yuan ($1.5 million).

Qian Renfeng, 31, and her two lawyers have leveled a complaint against the High People's Court in Yunnan province demanding damages and an apology in major media.

Qian was sentenced to life in prison in 2002 when she was 17 years old for allegedly poisoning children. The sentence was quashed in December because of insufficient evidence.
