The mission of the Laogai Research Foundation is to shine a spotlight on the brutal and exploitative prison system historically known as Laogai in the People’s Republic of China. Through the collection and dissemination of evidence confirming personal testimonies about the horrors of the Laogai system, the LRF hopes to expose and examine the Laogai prison system and thereby spur international pressure on the Chinese Communist regime to bring the Laogai and other human rights abuses to a final end.
