One moment Cheng Lei was off to work, the next she was arrested,
blindfolded and forced into a prison cell. For almost three
years, Lei endured psychological torture after she was wrongly
accused of being a spy. Locked in a padded cell, the journalist
was under constant surveillance, with two guards never leaving
her side. The lights never turned off, eerie Beethoven music was
played every morning and she was only allowed to say five
sentences a day. It was a horror Lei thought would never end.
