  • Eye Witness Report From a Labor Camp In Guangdong Province

    While in detention, we lived an inhuman life. Everyday, we had to do more than 10 hours' labor.

The guards found out and called the drug addicts to drag, pull, and beat us. We disobeyed them and still kept doing our exercises. To stop us, they then fixed our arms and legs with handcuffs. Sometimes, we did our exercises when the guards were not paying attention. Even so, sometimes we were beaten and cursed by the drug addicts.

  • International Investigation Required into the Inhuman and Illegal Conditions at Dashaping Detention Centre

    Because of the poor living conditions and extreme hard labour, it is not uncommon for detainees to die at the centre. When I first went in here, I was told that two people had died of illnesses consecutively. The Cell Head said that it is very common for people to die in there. Their lives are worth less than a pig's. Families are only paid 600 Yuan as compensation. Detainees consider the centre to be a "Hell-on-Earth."
