China's TV Confessions

[]

Activists accuse Chinese state media of human rights violations, for televising confessions they allege were forced.


"They put me in this chair, they lock me in it, they lock the cage, and there are all these camera lenses poking through the bars of this cage."
Peter Humphrey had been held by Chinese authorities for almost two months when he says he was sedated and brought before television cameras to "confess" in August 2013.
Human rights activists say Humphrey, a British corporate investigator who was jailed for almost two years in China, is just one of dozens of alleged lawbreakers who have been subjected to this kind of treatment since 2013.
