Seven women from China’s northwestern Gansu province say they were stripped and beaten by thugs back in April—when they tried to appeal in Beijing. They were appealing against corruption involving the 2008 Sichuan earthquake relief fund. Authorities on Monday denied using violence.
从中国西北甘肃省来的七位妇女说，早在四月，在她们尝试去北京上访，被恶棍剥衣和殴打。她们呼吁反腐败，当中涉及2008年四川地震救灾基金。有关单位周一否认使用暴力。
The victims, seen in this photo taken afterwards, had traveled to Beijing to appeal, but were intercepted by authorities and forcibly taken back to Gansu Province.
这张后来拍的照片中的受害者，曾前往北京上访，但被当局拦截，并强行带回甘肃省。
[Yang Xiqin, Victim]:
“They called some thugs who came in a car—around 20 of them. They grabbed our hair and dragged us onto the car and started to beat us. They stripped our clothes off. During the drive, they refused to give us food or let us go to the bathroom.”
受害者杨熙勤说：他们叫来20多个恶棍坐车来，他们抓住我们的头发把我们拖上车，就开始揍我们，剥光我们的衣服。在行驶中，他们拒绝给我们食物，或上洗手间。
This woman, Zhang Xiaoli, says her leg was fractured during the ordeal.
这位妇女张晓丽说，她的腿在毒打中被打断了。
The alleged abuse was first exposed in May via China’s microblogging site weibo.com. This past Saturday, this picture of the women surfaced online. That same night, police called them in for questioning.
这件被指控的虐待案,首次在五月通过中国的微博客网站 weibo.com曝光。上周六，这位妇女的照片在网上出现。当天晚上，警方把她们叫去讯问。
On Monday, authorities from Hui County in Gansu Province admitted to forcing the women back to the province, but denied they were beaten. A state-run media report claimed Zhang’s leg was broken because she fell over after kicking her daughter.
周一，甘肃省徽县当局承认强迫妇女们回到到省级，但否认她们遭到殴打。一家国营媒体报导称，张女士的腿断了，是因为她踢到她女儿后跌倒所致。
Shanghai Daily reports the original blog post has now been removed. But the message has been reposted by Chinese netizens. This blogger said on Tuesday he believes the women’s version of events, and wants authorities to let them speak freely to the media.
上海日报报导，原博客文章已被删除。但消息一直被中国网民转贴。这位博客周二表示，他相信妇女们所讲的事件，并希望有关单位让他们自由地向媒体发言。
