Cheng Lei tells Gary Jubelin how she survived jail hell

Cheng Lei spent almost three years in a Chinese prison after she was wrongly accused of being a spy. Forced into isolation, Lei endured psychological torture. 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.

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.
