【新唐人2013年12月18日讯】国际特赦：劳教所被戒毒中心代替
12月17号，总部设在伦敦的人权组织“国际特赦”发表报告，质疑中共废除劳教制度后，采用其他方式，拘禁访民及法轮功学员等，并呼吁中共当局停止任意关押。
报告说，如果针对行使自身权利的个人或团体的惩罚政策得不到改变，所谓取消劳教制度只能是换汤不换药，中共的劳教制度将会改头换面，以“黑监狱”、“戒毒中心”或其他名目继续存在。
报告指出，在新疆、江苏、四川、吉林以及其他省区的一批劳教所，已经被重新命名为“戒毒中心”，但它们所从事的工作却与戒毒几乎没有任何关联，而是与过去的劳教所一模一样。那里的人犯可以在不受审判的情况下，被关押数年之久，遭受折磨，被迫从事苦役。
中共在上个月宣布废止自上世纪五十年代开始实施的劳教制度，但没有说明如何具体落实这一决定。
香港“六四纪念馆”永久馆址确立
香港“支联会”12月17号成功购置了“六四纪念馆”的永久馆址，希望借此促进民主历史的记忆。
馆址位于九龙尖沙咀柯士甸路，实用面积约为800平方呎。支联会表示，随后将着手纪念馆的展馆设计，希望能在明年4月中正式开幕。
去年（2012年）4月，“支联会”曾以临时展馆的方式，展出多项他们从民间搜集的“六四”文物和资料，包括当年在天安门广场捡到的中共军队子弹壳照片，还有王丹、柴玲等民运学生签名的汗衫等。因为租约期满，临时“六四纪念馆”被迫在去年6月12号关闭。

Amnesty International: Drug Rehabilitation Centers
Replace Labor Camps
On Dec. 17, Amnesty International published a report about
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) stepping up other forms
of persecution of petitioners and Falun Gong practitioners after
the abolition of “Re-education Through Labour” (RTL) system.
Amnesty International also stated that “Chinese authorities
must immediately end all forms of arbitrary detention.”
The report said: “It’s clear that the underlying policies of
punishing people for their political activities or religious
beliefs haven’t changed.
The abuses and torture are continuing, just in a different way,
They continue to exist in so-called “black jails”, enforced drug
rehabilitation centres, and “brainwashing centers”..
A number of labor camps in Xinjiang, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Jilin
etc. have been identified in other reports and renamed as drug
rehabilitation centers.
These have almost no connection to drug rehabilitation but
continue the situation from the labor camps.
So they continue to perform persecution of victims through
illegal detention, physical abuse, and hard labors.
The CCP announced the decision to abolish the long-standing
RTL system in November with no explanation on how to
implement the decision.

The Alliance indicated that the official opening will be in

military bullet casings found in Tiananmen Square, a t-shirt
signed by student activists Wang Dan, Chai Ling and so forth.
The temporary June Forth Memorial was forced to close
