Part 5/9:
The BBC uncovered details from escapees describing brutal working environments—working up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week, under perilous conditions with scant rest.

Only two days off per year are granted, and exhaustion often causes workers to fall asleep standing up, only to be beaten by supervisors.
