Letter Describing forced Labor Corroborated by Survivors' Accounts

A hand-written letter found in a K-mart product has opened up a window into China's Re-education Through Labor system. Purportedly written by a prisoner from one of China's most notorious camps, the letter is a plea for help for inmates, most of whom are Falun Gong practitioners, performing 15 hours of slave labor a day.

   Li Zhuang is a lawyer on a long list of those jailed and tortured for representing the "wrong" clients. But he is now seeking redress, and news has spread widely within China, presenting the largest test for President Xi Jinping's vow for "meaningful legal reform."

More Chinese Turn to Weibo than CCTV for News

   "Though its information may not always be true, people are able to express themselves there," said a Guangdong resident. He was referring to a survey that found 44% of account holders prefer Weibo, compared to 38% who prefer CCTV, for their news source. Often called the "Chinese Twitter," Weibo is believed to have thousands of censorship police monitoring and deleting unwelcome posts, but still, some items get by.

"These crimes are so horrific..."[but they] are truly taking place," says Dr. Alejandro Centurion, MD.
