• Xinkaipu Forced Labour Camp: Conditions the International Community Cannot Imagine

  2007-12-25
  Practitioners being held in Xinkaipu Forced Labour Camp make various commercial products. The camp workshops are full of dust and rubbish. The conditions are unsanitary and not suitable for any kind of production. However, food wrappers are made here, including those used for ready-to-eat food. Some criminal (non-practitioner) inmates even intentionally put mucus and faeces on the wrappers to vent their grievances. Guard Wu Bin admitted that this kind of illegal profit-making couldn't happen in Western countries, and is unimaginable to the international community. The cruelty that goes on inside is also not found in any other civilised society. The camp doctors act like they are treating animals, and the guards are killing machines.
