China Detainees Change Stories

Can't believe in anyone anymore, can you?

"Eight activists recall detention in China

NEW YORK - Eight American activists who were jailed by Chinese authorities during the Olympic games for participating in protests say they were interrogated for hours, deprived of sleep and accused of having ties to the US government. The group was sent home late Sunday during the closing ceremony. Some were activists and artists who demonstrated against China's occupation of Tibet. Speaking in New York yesterday, the detainees said they were only allowed to leave their cells for interrogations, which sometimes lasted for hours (AP)."

Gee, that's strange:
yesterday they said they were not mistreated.
