SHANGHAI (Reuters) - One of five Chinese women activists whose detention last month sparked an outcry said she was interrogated and verbally abused by police for eight hours on Friday, a little over a week after being released on bail.

In a written statement, Wu Rongrong said she was questioned in a hotel room in the eastern city of Hangzhou from about 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. about her case, leaving her in "near collapse ... helpless and terrified".
