China has a slave labor camp outside of every major city

I have taken Human Rights in China's report on these camps to top editors of numerous publications with no results. Many reporters say they can't do the story because they can't get into the camps. But now is the time to insist on access.

Another outrage: According to China expert Andrew Nathan, Luo Gan, now a member of the nine-person Politburo Standing Committee, which is the supreme ruling body in China, is in charge of security affairs. Under Luo, there has been a chilling increase in the number of executions and killings by police. They have been instructed that "political dissidents of all stripes should be 'totally eliminated.' " He has called for vigilance against various "political enemies, including dissidents at home and abroad, critics of Beijing's bid to host the 2008 Olympics, overseas supporters of Chinese worker demonstrations, officially unauthorized religious groups, and critics of the government's position on the 1989 Tiananmen incident."

With China in the WTO and wanting to look good for the Olympics, it is time for news organizations to push the envelope.
