China and Starvation

Starvation in Chinese prisons is a way of torture and it has been brutally practicing on prisoners and specially Political prisoners.

This week, the Falun Dafa Information Center reported that wardens at Heilongjiang’s Daqing prison are preventing sixty-five Falun Gong practitioners detained there from eating. Falun Gong practitioners are not allowed to enter the dining hall or receive food from others—and they’re using this as a form of torture. More than three thousand Falun Gong practitioners have been killed since China crackdown on the spiritual practice but 400 of them were starved in prisons.

another fact is that About 20 million people are facing starvation in China because of droughts and floods across the country this year, China Daily reported today.
Another 80 million people in rural areas of at least 10 provinces are threatened with food shortages this winter because of the impact of the natural disasters on grain crops.

Over the last nine months, China has been hit with a wave of unusually severe natural disasters, including prolonged freezing temperatures in eastern and central China, extensive drought during the summer in several central provinces and widespread flooding of the Yangtze River.
More than 200 million rural residents were affected by these disasters, this information clearly posted on China Daily News.

Altogether, about 114 million acres of agricultural land were damaged by the disasters; Government officials now say that this year's grain production will be lower than last year's. That means starvation rate is going to go sky rock later this year.

In case of Karma Samdrup China's goal is so clear that they wanted to get rid of him. So who cares to feed him and lost weight in prison

I really believe that Karma's small and skinny health condition now is on the way to starvation
