Ah, is this like their last report of "police stations" and when the RCMP investigated in Montreal, turns out the address was for a restaurant, and the RCMP is now being sued for millions?

CTV should really feel bad about just regurgitating claims without verifying the information themselves

    Does anyone know more about the private foundation publishing this research, Safeguard Defenders? Where do they get the bulk of their funding from, and have any orgs done analysis on the quality of their reporting?

    Based on my reading it seems plausibly legitimate. The precursor organisation China Action seems to have been pretty paragon, and the founder's previous work in gender equality curbs my suspicions of it being a right-wing anti-china grift.

    The fact that the CCP doesn't like them is obviously true, but that could go either way for their work being factual or fabricated.

    They are funded by grants based on calls for proposals and small donations, and this is another excellent report by Safeguard Defenders exposing the Chinese party-state's human rights violations and disrespect of even the most basic rules of law.
