“I was shouting and asking for help, but no one helped me,” said one of the victims-turned-whistleblowers of the forced human experiments at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), Chien Chi-sheng.
Chien was a student-athlete on the university’s women’s football team, whose coach and professor coerced players into giving blood for seven years. It wasn’t until last November, when Chien and her teammates could no longer endure the abuse. They decided to go public. But their pursuit of truth and accountability was met with strong pushback from the university, which made every effort to cover up the case.
In this episode, Chien shares the traumatic experience of reporting the abuse to her school, and how the ordeal still gives her nightmare to this day.
