Christmas card ‘cry for help’: in the Chinese prison at the centre of forced labour claims
Message allegedly came from Shanghai Qingpu prison, which holds 170 foreign male inmates
China has denied using forced prison labour after reports that a six-year-old girl in England had discovered a cry for help inside a Tesco card allegedly made by inmates.
Qingpu prison in Shanghai has come under scrutiny after a note was found in a Christmas card that read: “We are foreign prisoners in Shanghai Qinqpu prison China. Forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisation.”
