I realised that I forgot to add some more quotes from the book. I wanted to show you how up to date the accounts get, so here are a couple that happened in 1988:
Prisoners who were released had to pay for the food they'd eaten in prison and would be arrested again if they didn't pay within a given time. “They set trained killer dogs onto the nuns and emptied urine buckets over their heads. They applied electric prods to their private parts. They strung them up to the ceiling by their thumbs.”
“At times, they laid us face down on the ground, stripped us to our underwear, hands outstretched, and beat us. More than once they dropped a huge iron rod from a great height onto our backs... they would trample on our hands with their huge iron-tipped boots. They kicked us in the face and stomach. Buckets full of urine were put on our heads... the guards... roaring with laughter as the urine and excrement streamed down our faces and bodies. They would take the momo that was our lunch, dip it in the filth and force us to eat it."
Let me just remind you - most of the world is supporting China by relying on its products. This cannot be ignored any more.
