Re: Meanwhile.....
As you seem to need details, let me give you a few initial pointers
Except for pervasive religious persecution
Try wearing a Burka or a turban when in a US airport.
labor camps
The entire US "prison system" is labour camps. From the traditional chain gangs to number plate production. My understanding is that southern parts of the USA are worse for this but someone else will need to give examples.
political trials
Manning. And sometimes they get away and sometimes you haven't got them yet and are getting someone else to do your dirty work - Assange.
absent civil rights, absent human rights
BLM
imprisonment of members of specific ethnic
BLM
constant surveillance of citizens and residents by the secret police
FBI, NSA, CIA, TSA - or does it not count when they wander around in paramilitary uniform?
I could go on but someone else should.
