Political prisoner Chow Hang-tung has posted on the torture she is suffering at the hands of Hong Kong's Correctional Services Department (CSD).
Tomorrow morning, the CSD will transport the peaceful activist from the Tai Lam Centre for Women to to face the verdict in her national security "subversion" trial at the West Kowloon Law Courts.
But the CSD “has changed its method of transport," she writes. "It’s no longer just simple handcuffs; now they use a full set of handcuffs, leg irons, waist chains, and ankle chains and then lead the prisoners like dogs on a chain.”
She describes being forced to hunch her shoulders to avoid the cuffs cutting into her wrist bones while being transported: “One can only ‘choose’ which part of the body shall suffer in turn — when the shoulders are too tired, let the bones ache; when the hands are numb with pain, tighten the shoulders further.
“Locking a person’s joints in certain relative positions can create a kind of ‘interlocking’ effect between body parts. But to the untrained eye, it’s invisible.”
