11 Feb 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 14 Oct 2012 07:10 AM PDT Book / Document:  Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Date(s) of events described:  Thu, 11 Feb 1943 Dorothy Lee is arrested in Queen's Rd. and taken to Central Police Station. Because she'd carried out social work before the war, Dr. Selwyn-Clarke had asked Ms. Lee to help him look after 40 Chinese wives of British POWs. The purpose of her arrest was to get her to incriminate Selwyn-Clarke, who, the Kempeitai believed, was head of a British spy ring. She's interrogated brutally for a week. Dr. Chaun, who knows her, is in the next cell, and she smuggles bread to him. He hears her asking for treatment for dysentery but this is refused. She was released on March 13, 1943 having told her interrogators nothing. Source: China Mail, January 7, 1947, page 2, and January 8, 1947, page 2. Note: see also May 6, 1943.
