Hong Kong Newspaper AppleDaily interviewed an injured Foxconn’s worker who surname Zhang in a hospital nearby Foxconn Taiyuan’s plant yesterday after the mass riot. Zhang is from Henan province, he has worked in Foxconn for about a month and he is now lying in bed with multiple injuries. Zhang pointed out that the Chinese polices who wears helmets and wielding plastic shields had randomly beaten people up inside the factory’s dormitory. Workers were told to squat on corridor and put their hands on their head with no clothes on. Zhang recalled that one police had trodden on his head and said “You’re lucky that we didn’t kill you!“.

According to a Foxconn worker who told RFA.org, Foxconn had arranged several big trucks on Tuesday morning to send its Henan-based workers back to Henan in order to ease up the tense atmosphere over in Foxconn Taiyuan’s plant.
