Thread here. Was reading about Apple going back to work. Noticing that dissidents were dying in Iran. Adds up!
unbelievable if true....
It was always convict labor there.
Now it’s just officially convict labor.
Wow! That’s crazy awful. If detained workers are caught with a Koran, they are sent to re-education camps again lasting 3-5 years.
Just when I thought I couldn’t be more disgusted by the Chinese.
