WHAT IS THE LAOGAI? The Laogai system is the Chinese network of prisons, factories, and farms designed to reform prisoners through forced labor. The Chinese government uses the Laogai to persecute political dissidents and maintain its dictatorship. Much of the treatment of Laogai prisoners violates internationally accepted norms for detention. 劳 改 LAO = LABOR GAI = REFORM
The Laogai Research Foundation
The mission of the Laogai Research Foundation (LRF) is to commit primarily to support and facilitate the work concerning the brutal and exploitative prison system historically known as Laogai in the People’s Republic of China. The LRF also allocates resources to expose any other human rights abuse in China as well. By supporting political and religious victims, assisting practical and research activities on political repression in China, and promoting democratic movement in China and abroad, the LRF aims to spur international pressure on the Chinese Communist regime and ultimately bring human rights abuses China to an end.
