The Home Office have detained and plan to send a single mum and her two year old son back to China just one day before the start of the Olympic Games. Despite many human rights organisations expressing concern that there has been a major crackdown on dissent in the run up to the Games in Beijing, the Home Office detained 25 year old Qin Wang and her son Jian Qi Lin on Friday 1^st August and told her she was going to be forcibly removed on a Russian Aeroflot plane from Heathrow to China on Thursday 7^th August, only one day before the opening ceremony .
