China: still persecuting, but good at hiding it
The New York Times in June published details of a fascinating interview with Mr. Zhang, the claimed author of a note written in English and allegedly smuggled out of the Masanjia labour camp while he was imprisoned there.
The letter was discovered by a woman in Oregon, USA, who found it stashed in a box of Halloween decorations that were packaged at the labour camp. The letter revealed that conditions in the camp were ‘a living hell’ and that about half the camp’s occupants were either Falun Gong practitioners or members of underground house churches.
