  • Former Engineer from the Yunnan Province Design Institute Recounts the Persecution He Experienced in China's Forced Labour Camps

    "Division 2 where I was persecuted owned some factories and farms, including a vegetable dehydrating processing factory. The vegetable factory was in very unsanitary condition, with mosquitoes, flies mice, and cockroaches everywhere. No one was allowed a hot water shower at any time during the year. Most people had scabies, big blisters, and other infectious skin diseases. When one touched the area with a finger, it bled or oozed pus. It was disgusting and terrible. After some time, even the fingers were infected and oozed pus, but we still had to work for more than 16 hours a day. No one asked whether the products met sanitary standards as long as the quota was met."
