10:36 am
communist party. one said only good things to say about cope in the city of chinese women. of course, back as nicety married to a weak company to join the ease in her room. she, she was a model loyal agent member of the party. that's why it is in general authorities common theater to teach clauses. and one of the centers of cos, the obligation to remain completely sign up about what was going on that caused a move. so in a give cause uncle, i said coping or your daughter is studying in the netherlands. they knew because we had to give them family updates every month. okay, to said you must be especially careful. don't say anything about teaching there. not to your colleagues or your family. i've never forgets that until march the 1st 2017. a police officer picked her up and drove her to the top of a hill overlooking the city. the capt. blue managed

10:39 am
in the evening, there'd be no reason to change their hands and feet and torture. the oldest people did nothing wrong. their only so called crime that the record we will go on over to the for over a year. calvin. oh, i'm willing to continue the mission. the will sort. you just given us enough time for 2019. the volunteer kind of permission to go to the netherlands to visit her daughter. she requested political a sign up, the distraught by what she had seen. gilbert, who was one of the 1st to bear witness to the weakest fight. the instant jack. a few phone reports is out small to police surveillance and managed

10:41 am
the code of the stuff, the beauty of sucks, but it doesn't seem fact. my heart starts racing. does all the thinking in there means the punishment would be very severe. well, i know of that. i try to make his confess, this thing was he was the one that used to truly power domestically up the restraint you and hung you from. the wall is up. it's comparable. they hit you with wooden rubber buttons and even use don't guns. what do i mean? isn't humans, should them have? how does this when you're tortured like that? you screamed dad. mom save me. when i put it on the product gets to the foam. yeah. the torture last it's 7 months and 10 days the old before the rest, like many when he goes, i say lift what neighboring cars like in spring 2017. he went as in john to attend the training show that he was arrested and then turned in a come uh,
10:42 am
you'll start to accused him of having separate test ideas. now refugee and then evidence is re united with his family. but he remembers when he went through all too vividly. so i'll tell him the, which will tell me what caught up. but i suppose from the minute 6 30 am, we stood facing the wall for the raising of the chinese flag on the closet. detainees were orange uniforms like the prisoners, and the one tunnel won't pay for the entry. we were in chains. and then as we were forced to sing read sounds real. sure. such another some do this thing we're going to seems they didn't give us any food at the but it was given us. prison loves that. yeah. mostly if i'm afraid, it makes sense. i refuse to learn the national. i'm from or sing, read songs of stuff isn't always given for different punishments. that's a little bit. you know, what should the,
10:43 am
to close our shoulder on the 1st floor space between the buttons and then forced to face the wall for 24 hours to go up with nothing to eat or drink. so somebody some bitter meadow, but she kept it as a 2nd. the punishment was being restrained and the tiger turned in the pot on the soon as the twins are tired from painting over, the began without any food or water, you them to search for your expression better later. beloved on much of them. a stringent as a 3rd as being heads and then locked in a cell that's 3 square meters sold on this. as i stood without food or water, send me a draft in line to come from it. i said that the the dungeons as a forced punishment of your major stands naked except for your 100 pounds in the snow or cold for 24 hours. it didn't matter if you were shivering or freezing. and
10:44 am
if it was somewhere else, because you had to stay in the sun and make it up to fill up the cushion was what, what is the the sure color was this is a give to make you abandon your ethnicity, your religious belief system to brainwash you the torture you psychologically little, he but some of the and she really anything or the play, the harder like the man . ours is salvation to diplomats and catholics. tom, when he had become a citizen of the torturing humiliations, he describes the definition of brainwashing a method that can be traced back to 19 fifties china. the
10:45 am
cost of the gentleman square mastic are in 1999. a former executive decided to leave the policy and take refuge in the us, where he now teaches political science. cl mean, says chinese leaders methodically use an old communist technique and said john, simple. and so when you rein washing is an expression of chinese origin, which means beating the brain and watching it. and i said, i guess originally this was done by force often starting with food deprivation ones because they said that hunger could destroy a man's wheel. can't see when you go to the brain washing has been practiced regularly by the chinese communist parties. and since it changed your power into that 100 homes with us, so you know way that's what makes the chinese people vehicle with and a baby. and if i'm in chrome g a, so we live here and go for the home. hung isn't the only weapon come,
10:46 am
got to use to subjugate the population. the caught them and make it more look at that they brought a cleric and said he wasn't a mom, but we couldn't verify that he advised us to stop believing in our religion that there was no god other than she's in pain. and that only the communist party could save us probably a send them to some idea of what was most right. however, johnny's will. thirty's disapproved too frequent trips to catholic stone and saw her face in islam a success if she was subjected to 11 months of re education. when she thought that the god shaved her head and made her aware uniform, she knew from the beginning the sheet go through now the
10:47 am

10:48 am
kept the run around. if i didn't have the strength to pretend it was dropped, hush put me on the throat and it's coming up today, broke me up with another guard. came along escalade. well, 2 of them held me. i fainted and fell down on what i said or something. i don't know what those 3 did to me. i thanks to her cause that comes to us and i was released. but she remained severely affected before leaving the camp. she had to promise, she could never speak of what happened but the whole so brave citizens in china disapprove of the torment the policy of
10:49 am
subjecting link is to an autumn 2019 wednesday and john was still cuts off by chinese censorship. an anonymous sauce sent to new york times find some information. it was a 400 pages of internal chinese communist party documents that contained many official investigations and directives, reports on to violence and controls the week population statements by high ranking communists. and lastly, 96 pages of speeches made by president changing, paying himself in these one can read the official orders he gave during his visit us in gen 4 years earlier. these links and john papers confirmed implementation of a foster system of detention comes decided by the highest levels of the communist hierarchy. and these internal government documents with the chinese
10:50 am
president while addressing reasonable authorities compared to religious extremism to a virus. i'm to an evil truck. changing pain stated that the fight against the scotch, which requires all combine for treatment. and the chinese communist even touched the local authorities to show absolutely no massey in chinese leaders mines. it's about treating people with evil, a radical stones approved off by many intellectuals function thing lea, a university professor, and government advisor. so what's the chromebooks are spindle? if we compare terrorism to a virus, sit on, we have to find out who's carrying the volume or tongue. we're not going to kill them, but the warranty. and then the question, they must be given free treatment. so they can recover quickly say, what if it's an ideological virus,
10:51 am
it's harder to know who is infected and what does one do then on that you might get sent to a certain place for awhile, where you will be given an ideological training alongside of job training to do it of what the of the to track down although this, with this idea logical virus, the policy put the populations in john, i'm the surveillance in china. the policy is always and he is everywhere in every district, neighborhood, factory and building the consumer. even more than elsewhere, the dictatorship is deployed its most powerful tools, so called small cameras facial recognition, biometrics, digital spine. since the launch of the repression campaign in 2014, the population of this chinese farm west that's becoming the most monitored in the
10:52 am
well, the, one of the things, the chinese state talks about in terms of particularly surveillance programming. but really is the same thing about the re education program. is they called preventative policing? the idea that this person is not yet an extremist. they're not yet a terrace, but we can see that they might become one. so we need to act that states surveillance and she and john is pervasive, but maybe it's easier to think about it in sort of a 3 dimensional everyday sense. imagine, for example, a q r code has been placed outside your front door so that authorities can stop by and scan that code to see if it is registered to live there and then knock on the door
10:53 am
and see if the right people are there. or maybe the wrong people are there and leave your house in the morning to take your children to school and to go to the shops. you have to pass through a check point. so you have to swipe your id card and to go through those. so that the authorities can know what trajectory you followed and all the while. remember, if you're outside your video surveillance cameras tracking you, we know that the authorities will track people if they turn their phones off. so going off the grid is problematic to everyone's a suspect every way, all the time. under the pretext of fighting terrorism, the policy has criminalized all sorts of behavior. in some german local leaders drew up a list of 75 signs of radicalization. top of the list, advocating the succession to sit in june. and the creation of an islamic state to be stuck is done. but of much more mundane behaviors as seen as warning signs,
10:54 am
such as something me quitting drinking or smoking. boy colton. cultural sporting events or closing, you'll restaurant during ramadan. this least gives law enforcement a lot of room for interpretation. and i think the parties have been government. some goal is to make clear to all rigorous across and young, that there are red lines. and the penalty for crossing that used to be detained for months at a time, and now possibly prosecuted. and given her sentences it produces precisely one of the effects. i think that the authorities are hoping to achieve, which is scaring people into here, totals mission the
10:55 am
despite the awesomeness of payments in saint john, never mind the blind spot to which the communist party have no access families. private knives, the policy had no idea the because i'm trying to use and we just don't necessarily get them all they would need to be forced to get to know each of the chinese leaders organized, estimate community we the once a month we confirmed these get to visit from an chinese person who stays with them for a few days. video shed on social media. everyone looks very happy at the,
10:56 am
it's in reality these frank chinese friend 0 so that to judge family members loyalty to the policy. it was very clear that it also was for surveillance purposes to see who was living at home. wasn't there? how religious were they? did the children speak training is rigor your all of this data gets recorded and can you imagine having officials from the ruling party in your country move into your house and instead of your dinner table and sleeping your bed with you on invited, particularly in a culture that is still reasonably conservative or so with a high tech surveillance styles. don't worry, the party is there to make sure they're keeping an eye on you, even in low tech ways to the since 2016. the communist
