The Persecution I Suffered at the Nanning City No. 1 Detention Centre in Guangxi Autonomous Region
2006-09-25
On October 27th, 2004, several police officers from the National Security Team arrested me off the street. They had previously broken into my home and searched it when no one was at home. This time they "showcased" searching my home. One police officer carried a video recorder; one had a conventional camera and a third one had a digital camera. They sent me to Nanning City No. 1 Detention Centre. Inmates have to do daily slave labour until late at night. We were forced to make shoe insteps. If we could not finish the quota, we would have to work overnight. Many times we could only sleep one to two hours. The police agents often arrived with batons in hand to check the product quality. Some police officers poured water and salt on our injuries after they had beaten us. -
