Peter Dahlin tells the story of his incarceration and expulsion from the People's Republic of China, where he spent 23 days in a 'black prison' in Beijing and was deprived of sleep and questioned with a 'communication enhancement' machine.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
Some nights Peter Dahlin says he tucks a "big-ass knife" under his bed in case intruders come for him as he dozes; others he cannot sleep at all.
"They've kidnapped people several times here before," says the 36-year-old Swedish human rights activist, chain-smoking Marlboro cigarettes as he remembers the 23 days he spent in secret detention in China.
It has been a year since Dahlin became one of the first foreign victims of President Xi Jinping's war on dissent.
