- Gene Bunin criticized the BBC for claiming this.
on his Facebook page he criticised a BBC report from February alleging “systematic rape” in the re-education camps built by the Chinese government.
Bunin said there were indeed cases of rapes in the estimated hundreds of detention camps peppered around the region, but the evidence for systemic rape had not been established.
“You cannot write a news story claiming systematic rape based on three eyewitness accounts, not all of whom are reliable … You just can’t and the BBC should know better,” Bunin said in the Facebook post. “Take that from someone who’s been dealing with testimonies 24/7 for the past two years now.”
