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.

從中國西北甘肅省來的七位婦女說，早在四月，在她們嘗試去北京上訪，被惡棍剝衣和毆打。他們呼籲反腐敗，當中涉及2008年四川地震救災基金。有關單位週一否認使用暴力。

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.

這張後來拍的照片中的受害者，曾前往北京上訪，但被當局攔截，並強行帶回甘肅省。

[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."

受害者楊熙勤說：他們叫來20多個惡棍坐車來，他們抓住我們的頭髮把我們拖上車，就開始揍我們，剝光我們的衣服。在行駛中，他們拒絕給我們食物，或上洗手間。

This woman, Zhang Xiaoli, says her leg was fractured during the ordeal.

這位婦女張曉麗說，她的腿在毒打中被打斷了。

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.

這件被指控的虐待案,首次在五月通過中國的微博客網站 weibo.com曝光。上週六，這位婦女的照片在網上出現。當天晚上，警方把她們叫去訊問。

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.

週一，甘肅省徽縣當局承認強迫婦女們回到到省級，但否認她們遭到毆打。一家國營媒體報導稱，張女士的腿斷了，是因為她踢到她女兒後跌倒所致。

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.

上海日報報導，原博客文章已被刪除。但消息一直被中國網民轉貼。這位博客週二表示，他相信婦女們所講的事件，並希望有關單位讓他們自由地向媒體發言。
