Here is some information from the site www.laogai.it, simply by asking a question: "Despite the tragedies of the Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet gulag and sinkholes, as may happen that yet such things? What happened to the conscience of man? "
WHAT ARE THE
Laogai?
The concentration camps of the third millennium
I are Laogai camps in China by Mao Zedong established in 1950 following the example of the USSR where they were in full operation the Gulag. They were of Soviet experts to help Mao Zedong in China to organize the Laogai. While the Nazi camps were closed in 1945 and GU-LAG Soviets have abandoned the early '90s, the Chinese Laogai are still operating today in the third millennium.
in the Laogai, more 'than a thousand in China today, millions of people, men, women and children are currently forced to work
forced into inhumane conditions to economic advantage of the Chinese government and several multinational
producing or investing in China.

What is washing brain?
forcing people against their will
The peculiarity of the Laogai system, compared with previous models, the Soviets and the Nazis, is the systematic brainwashing of the prisoner. This is accomplished through the daily political indoctrination on the truths foolproof means of communism and self-criticism.
political indoctrination is done with "study sessions" per day, which take place after the long hours and hard labor. Self-criticism, in contrast, place in front of guards and other inmates and is intended to "reform" the personality of self-incrimination. First, you should list and analyze their own faults. Then one has to acknowledge publicly that it has been committed, by reforming its own personality, to become a "new socialist person." E 'must finally show - with the facts - their loyalty to the Party, often denouncing their friends and relatives, who in turn are forced to acknowledge and condemn the prisoner.
This continues today in the third millennium. Lu Decheng, one of three famous young people who threw eggshells filled with paint on the portrait of Mao Zedong in Tiananmen Square on May 23, 1989, detained in the Laogai for nine years, during his interview with news agency Asianews, June 4, 2007, describes his experience in the Laogai. Lu Decheng said "I spent nine years in the Laogai. It was actually a factory producing cars. We were forced into slave labor for 15-16 hours a day .. After work we had to follow the 'study sessions', forced indoctrination, which would turn us into people confident in socialism. "
Harry Wu says: when you enter the field, the first thing is to confess his crime. We must repeatedly tell them their crime. Never forget any detail. The confession is of primary importance, because it destroys their dignity. We must say 'I'm a criminal, I am guilty, I accept the reform of thought, I want to change myself, I want to be loyal to Chairman Mao'
What are the conditions of life in the Laogai?
Abuse of any kind on prisoners
Conditions of life in the Laogai are horrible. The working time of up to 16 hours a day, according to the type of activity (industry, mines or fields). Safety and hygiene do not exist. The couch is on the bare stone. The food is inadequate and increasingly administered in proportion to the work performed. Hunger is the faithful companion of the prisoner. Lucky those who work in the fields because it can find snakes, frogs and burrows of rats with soy or wheat grains to eat. The unfortunate prisoner who has worked in the city. The beatings and torture are on the agenda. Frequent electric shocks and suspension by the arms. Manfred Nowak, the UN envoy who inspected In December 2005, some prisons in China, has denounced the ongoing abuse of torture and called on the Beijing government to eliminate capital punishment for non-violent crimes or for economic reasons. In his report of March 10, 2006 has also denounced the confessions extracted under torture. The punishment also included in the Laogai forced isolation for several days, almost always without food, in small cells of about two to three cubic meters, together with their droppings. It is not surprising that such a climate of abuse, hunger, abuse and bullying continue even induce prisoners to suicide.
