More than 1,000 'disappeared'

What a way to kick off the Olympics in our totalitarian trading partner's land!

Reuters:
HONG KONG - China's grip on dissent in Tibet remains tight after deadly riots there in March, with more than 1,000 people still detained without charge, human rights group Amnesty International said in a new report on Thursday.

"Many hundreds, possibly thousands of Tibetans languish in prisons or detention centers without the government publicly acknowledging their whereabouts or formally charging them with a criminal offence," the report read.
It's quite possible they could possibly be among the prison labor making junk to be sold here in the U.S.A.
