Xinjiang Re-education Camp Detainees Appointed ‘Crying Time’ Every Two Weeks

Gulzire Awulqanqizi, a Kazakh woman who was held at the Dongmehle Re-education Camp in Ili Kazakh (in Chinese, Yili Hasake) Autonomous Prefecture’s Ghulja (Yining) city from July 2017 to October 2018, recently told RFA in an interview that detainees dealing with the stress of 14-hour days of political study are given a “crying session” every two weeks.

“They say, ‘Now you can cry,’ but if we cry at other times when we feel the need, they criticize and threaten us, saying they will move us to a different camp,” said Awulqanqizi, who now lives in exile in Almaty, in neighboring Kazakhstan.

This is beyond 1984. You literally cannot make things up. This is so bizzare that it has to be true. It is so unbelievable to the level that it could not be made up.

China is the worst dictatorship by far in the world today using modern technology and old-fashioned repression on its own citizens. And they do that for even the most trivial questioning of their government.

Ah a recipe for long term failure but short term advantage in context to more open societies.
