  • Tianjin Women's Labour Camp Forces Detainees to Make Shirts for Export to Japan

    All shirts produced in the Tianjin Women's Labour Camp are for one manufacturer in Japan. Most of the products are exported to Japan. Making shirts is high-volume and intensive work, all of which is done by hand. A higher price is paid for faster processing of the shirts, so detainees are required to work extra hours as soon as the order comes in. Detainees felt dizzy and suffered sore lower and upper backs after even the first day's work. Most of the older detainees could not endure such hard labour.
