• Products Made with Slave Labour at the Hebei Province Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2012-07-24
  There are nearly 300 women detained in the Hebei Province Woman's Forced Labour Camp. More than 100, almost half, are Falun Gong practitioners. The three “brigades” in the labour camp are known as the second, the third, and the fourth. The slave labour is labelled "practice labour.” In fact, the forced labour camp abuses its detainees to do cheap labour to make huge profits. The productivity of each brigade is directly linked to the officers' bonuses. Between 2008 and 2009, the detainees wrapped a huge number of disposable chopsticks in paper. They had also put handles on boxes for milk products. The boxes were transported in containers by large trucks. In the same period, the detainees made boxes for moon cakes, packaged toothpicks, and chopsticks.
