（单词翻译）

　　The mother of a young rape¹ victim in central China's Hunan Province has filed a petition over her detainment in a labor² camp.

　　The mother - surname Tang - was sent to a labor camp in August after campaigning for harsher punishments for those found guilty of raping³ her then 11-year-old daughter and forcing the girl into prostitution in 2006.

　　The petition came three days after authorities refused to compensate⁴ for her time in the labor camp.

　　The move has sparked a new wave of public outcry to reform or even abolish the re-education through labor system.

　　Experts say the criticism stems from lack of a legal basis in randomly⁵ expanding its scope to cover unwanted petitioners⁶.

　　The re-education through labor system was established in the 1950s.

　　Many experts believe it contradicts the Constitution and has been abused by local officials to safeguard "social security."

　　Judicial⁷ authorities say they are formulating⁸ a plan for the reform of the controversial system.
