  "More than 1,000 children may have been kidnapped and sold into slave labour in a brutal human trafficking ring that has shocked and outraged China. The children, some as young as eight, worked in brick kilns for sixteen hours a day with meagre food rations. They were guarded by fierce dogs and thugs who beat their prisoners at will. Many were abducted right off the streets of cities in the region and sold to factories and mines for as little as 400 Yuan (£27).

  2007-05-08
  Canadians David Matas and David Kilgour do not look like two men who would pose a threat to any state, let alone one as powerful as China. The tall and slender Kilgour (64) smiles a lot and his bright blue eyes sparkle. Matas (66) who is smaller in stature, talks softly and quietly. He regards everyone seriously through his metal-rimmed glasses. They look like an unequal pair.

This is the only element that I have the capacity to address. While I cannot get more evidence than has already been offered I can at least test this allegation for credibility."
