Chinese prisoner’s shackles so tight, that flesh grows over them

11 December 2010 [13:20] - TODAY.AZ
For Zhang Chuanqiu, an unfortunate 27-year-old prisoner in China, his jail sentence over a loan dispute has proved to be a lot worse than anyone ever bargained for, and a lot worse than he deserved!

His arms were chained so tightly that flesh began to grow over the shackles as he wastes away in an illegal prison. Village officials locked Zhang to a cowshed back in 2005 and to date he is still shackled at least as far as anyone knows.

“They are always inflamed and ooze pus all the time. But we have no money so I have to rely on charity or the good heart of a hospital or doctor to save my hands,” says Zhang who is always in pain.

This kind of treating the prisoners, makes one wonder if Znang Chuangiu has already served enough of his sentence.
