Will FOSA, Romila "Red" Thapar, CIIS's Angana, et al, (Please) protest the following "human right" violations? OR are they not human enough for these people?

It is from Falun Gong, perhaps dated, but seems like the state has shut Falon Gong's website down.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Stories of "Made in China"</b>
Dear reader:
In this issue, we continue our discussion of slave labor in China.
The Chinese communist regime has one primary goal: to maintain power at all cost.
Those who insist on their beliefs and place their conscience above the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) face the full weight of the Chinese regime. For having such courage, they may be charged with "betraying" their homeland or "revealing state secrets." They risk loss of reputation, long-term imprisonment, torture, and even death.
A primary method of suppression is punishment by "re-education through labor." Skilled at propaganda that twists logic and common sense, the CCP claims that such punishment gives people a chance to "reform" themselves. Crushed by methods perfected over the ages, they give up their conscience and "reform" into "patriotic" beings that never question the CCP.
The low cost of products made with slave labor has attracted great demand for them around the world. For corrupt officials, the forced labor camps are such a profitable business that they care little that the millions of inmates in the estimated 1,200 camps nationwide have never had a trial or a chance to defend their innocence.
We bring you the stories of two such souls - Falun Gong practitioners who were imprisoned for their beliefs and forced to endure "re-education" through grueling forced labor for refusing to betray their conscience, making goods for export to western countries.
