Tortured in China, they want to sue Cisco. The Supreme Court may say no.

William Wang was leaving his office in Beijing when plainclothes officers accosted him in the street and threw him into a police car.

It was August 2002. Wang was taken to a facility where Chinese security officers interrogated him, beating him and shocking him with electric batons until their batteries ran out of charge, Wang alleged in a lawsuit filed in 2011. Wang remained imprisoned for nearly a decade, subjected to solitary confinement, forced labor, beatings and other forms of torture, he said.
