 Pictured here are some of the 31 slave labourers who worked for a Chinese brickwork factory after their rescue.  They worked 20 unpaid hours with only bread and water given for their work.  Many suffered painful burns from the work, and eight of the workers came out so traumatized that only remembered their names.  The factory was located in the province Shanxi.
