The Chinese Communist party had already begun an outing, its genocide policy on weaker and cause a minority in the fall of 2016, bit of a major concert to go to the communist party had been planning this crackdown years in advance. Whats the big thing . The Police Arrested me multiple times that night. Shell be questioned. Pressured, threatened, and hit me. That in nov 2017, i was forced to enter the internment camp and to teach chinese to the inmates. But the Chinese Government says that you were never in any of these crimes. In fact, the Chinese Embassy in sweden had this to say about you. And i court should never worked in any Vocational Education and Training Institutions and had never been detained before. Illegally fled to kazakhstan, would be about to come. Everyone who knows the evil side of the communist party knows very well short of its own sound. That when the Chinese Government will use whatever means to pursue and defame those who have witnessed and revealed the evil side of the regime from differently, you could wrong whether this is normal or good. I dont care what people, woman, theres 100100 since hearing these false claims and verbal attacks. I actually felt happy here. Why . Because it means my testimony actually had an impact on the mission. You know what, this is the terms that see the commute for you. Now you coauthored a book about your time in these reeducation camps. Its called the chief witness escaped from chinas modern day concentration camps. What did you witness there . So touching that after i was brought to the fascist internment camp, i realized that it was in a bit. I might marry, thats a good or more back and you got the fun try to always hard to believe. If i had not seen it all with my own life, i would not have believed it. So how can Something Like this happen in the 21st century . Do you should see here for me going to mend your young child. There were about 2500 inmates in my complex men and women, young and old. All of them were innocent. They were forced to make false confessions. Chambre, all of them had their head shaved. Their limbs were shackled despite injuries to our trees here and i told worse psychological torture as well as physical torture. That was extremely frugal or for president the shoulder that he found the trauma. I know its a difficult subject, but can you tell us what kind of torture youre talking about . You spoke about psychological and physical torture. What did you witness . Say she truly meant you see t. V. s were everywhere in the internment camp. Then why are they just a function you find anime or so that there were 4 surveillance cameras, one in each corner of the cell, plus one in the middle. So there were all together 5 cameras in one single cell phone were all over the corridor as well. How many, every action of the inmates was watched for 247. You know, youve got there was one room in the camp that didnt have c. C. T. V. They call it the black room. To get to dig, to get people to enter. The room were tortured physically by various brutal means more than the fun. But all the cars pull off their fingernails. They would tie them to a chair and use of like rick shock to torture them. To go about only if youre sitting in the bargain that you like. They would be the means were very brutal to that jigger. Thats one of the short i used to be locked in that room too. But what is the worst memory that you have from . Roughly 4 months that you spent in this camp, so not it able to transfer generally. You know, theres lots of things that i will never forget. Every time i eat, i think of the enemy as mates or your friends. So fans want to chase down to them and i think of them before i go to bed every night. I could see that my mind keeps returning to the internment camp where i worked every single day to trouble to others. It is one thing that i cant stand when youre a very young girl. She got raped a lot though. But if you think that he struck me, i can never forget it. It stuck in my mind. I can imagine this is a hard subject to recollect, but you were here in germany, no public in the german parliament. What do you expect from germany or free time that she longed for 1st . I hope the German Government will act like many other countries and recognize the crimes. The Chinese Communist party has committed against our people as genocide from for me, therefore you are the you are the just shit. She wont settle. I hope the German Government will punish the leaders of the communist party. According to the magnitsky act, to give us a very powerful bill to see out of the 3rd germany. It is a very Free Democratic justice loving and strong country to me. So we are to have the same guy, just one man, that gentle i hope the country will stand with people like i hope they will take actions that are effective to save us to address the person she said to the sun or i hope the German Government can answer to these 3 demands if they really want to help what songs they will be able to do.
