【新唐人2013年12月18日訊】國際特赦：勞教所被戒毒中心代替
12月17號，總部設在倫敦的人權組織「國際特赦」發表報告，質疑中共廢除勞教制度後，採用其他方式，拘禁訪民及法輪功學員等，並呼籲中共當局停止任意關押。
報告說，如果針對行使自身權利的個人或團體的懲罰政策得不到改變，所謂取消勞教制度只能是換湯不換藥，中共的勞教制度將會改頭換面，以「黑監獄」、「戒毒中心」或其他名目繼續存在。
報告指出，在新疆、江蘇、四川、吉林以及其他省區的一批勞教所，已經被重新命名為「戒毒中心」，但它們所從事的工作卻與戒毒幾乎沒有任何關聯，而是與過去的勞教所一模一樣。那裏的人犯可以在不受審判的情況下，被關押數年之久，遭受折磨，被迫從事苦役。
中共在上個月宣佈廢止自上世紀五十年代開始實施的勞教制度，但沒有說明如何具體落實這一決定。
香港「六四紀念館」永久館址確立
香港「支聯會」12月17號成功購置了「六四紀念館」的永久館址，希望藉此促進民主歷史的記憶。
館址位於九龍尖沙咀柯士甸路，實用面積約為800平方呎。支聯會表示，隨後將著手紀念館的展館設計，希望能在明年4月中正式開幕。
去年（2012年）4月，「支聯會」曾以臨時展館的方式，展出多項他們從民間蒐集的「六四」文物和資料，包括當年在天安門廣場撿到的中共軍隊子彈殼照片，還有王丹、柴玲等民運學生簽名的汗衫等。因為租約期滿，臨時「六四紀念館」被迫在去年6月12號關閉。

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.
June Fourth Memorial Finds Permanent Home in Hong Kong

Movements in China (The Alliance) has successfully acquired

the memorial occupies approximately 800 square feet.
The Alliance indicated that the official opening will be in

In April 2012, The Alliance displayed artifacts and documents
collected for the June 4 massacre.
These included a photo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
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
due to the the lease expiring.

Pandu Township of Fuzhou City protested on Dec. 15 against
forced land acquisition by the local government and blocked

50 people were injured and 45 people were arrested.
