Breaking News on China's Masanjia Breaks Rules

Via NTDonChina April 9, 2013

A first ever domestic news expose on the notorious Chinese labor camp known as Masanjia was recently published by Lens Magazine. The article is entitled "Walking Out of Masanjia." It's based on a detailed handwritten diary by former inmate Liu Hua.

Previously foreign media often reported on this labor camp and revealed many human rights violations and atrocities committed against prisoners since 2000. However, this latest uncovering marks the very first time that a Chinese media organization has dared to publish a news story about this controversial issue.

The following news video about this recent event includes some disturbing photos of many torture victims of the Masanjia Labor Camp. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.



Below is another recent news video on this breaking news story from ChinaForbiddenNews:

Japanese Government vs Fukushima Citizens on The Right to Live

Via pejorativeglut Jul 23, 2011

UPDATE: Per my suggestion, this video is now featured on Boing Boing.

UPDATE #2: This video is now featured on Gizmodo.

Here is a truly astounding and WTF unbelievable, must see video on how current Japanese government officials are mistreating, ignoring and insulting their very own citizens in Fukushima! These residents are located outside of the current 20-30 km evacuation zone. However, since more high levels of radiation are being discovered near their homes and schools, they want the government to increase the evacuation zone and financially support them and their families to evacuate. But, of course, the Japanese government does not want to do this as it would involve many more residents and cost much, much more. In the beginning of this video, the Director of Local Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters, Mr. Akira Satoh, answers some very serious questions from some very concerned Fukushima citizens:

Citizen: "As other people do, people in Fukushima have a right to avoid the radiation exposure and live a healthy life too. Don't you think so?"

Akira Satoh: "The government has tried to reduce the radiation exposure dose as much as it can."

Other citizens: "You didn't answer his question!"

Citizen: "So are you saying that they don't? They have that right don't they?

Akira Satoh: "I don't know if they have that right."

Can't believe it? Watch:



Above video was filmed and edited by some anonymous members of the Japanese Save Child website. English subtitles are 100% correct and were done by pejorativeglut.

The below picture is of Mr. Akira Satoh. Towards the end of the video, when he refused to accept the childrens' urine for radiation testing, they should have poured it all over him!

"A Chinese gay pageant, said to be the first held in the country, was ordered by police to close an hour before opening, organisers say.

The Mr Gay China event was thought to mark a new openness toward the gay community in China.

Organisers said police informed them it could not go ahead because they had not applied "according to the procedures".

Homosexuality was illegal in China until 1997, and officials described it as a mental illness until 2001.

The event's organiser, Ben Zhang, said he had been hoping the event would mark another step towards greater awareness of gay people in China."
