    They beat me for two days straight in the first police station that I was in. I hadn’t slept or eaten or had water for 48 hours and then I was forced to sign a big stack of documents

    Doubt.

    Court documents indicate that this worked at least to some extent, earning him a four-year sentence.

    Where? There’s no citation.

    “We were banned from showering or cleaning ourselves, sometimes for months at a time. Even the toilet could be used only at specific allotted times, and they were filthy - waste from the toilets above would constantly drip down on to us.”

    Doubt.

    I highly doubt that a prison supposedly only housing foreigners (news flash, it doesn’t as per a 2009 NY Times article on a chinese “dissident”) would have US/Israeli conditions. The lack of any primary documents indicates this.

    This is likely a completely fabricated story, on the level of social credit scores catgirl-disgust

        If you search this story up you just get a whole wave of Australian tabloid papers and bourgeois media sources. I even found a facebook post of a “Uyghur womans group”

        They really didn’t even try with this one, it’ll work anyway because search engines are so busted in the West.

      Audio Transcription Service of interview:

      Interviewer: Disciplined?

      Aussie-man: Yeah! China disciplines me real good.

      Aussie-man: Sometimes five times a day! With bricks!

      Interviewer: Bricks?

      Aussie-man: Uh huh… in a pillow case…

        He must’ve smelled really bad after going months without showering. Why would prison authorities stop inmates from cleaning themselves for months which prevents disease and unhygienic conditions for other prisoners and staff? Cause they’re chinese that’s why!

        Real escape from camp 14 vibes, just overload with misery to make westerners feel good when all their rights are being stripped during an ongoing genocide of Palestine.
