An imposing complex of red seven-storey buildings, it stands next to an expanse of rubble and a few derelict houses on the south-western fringe of the capital. Few visit unless escorted by police. Few leave except in the custody of officials or their hired thugs. It is a clearing house for Beijing's undesirables. Majialou and another nearby centre, Jiujingzhuang, are at the hub of a network of extra-judicial detention facilities, authorised by the central government. Their aim is to keep the capital free of petitioners who come to Beijing to protest. The city also has many informal detention centres, known as black jails, run illegally at the behest of local governments, but to which the central government usually turns a blind eye. The network has been accused of dealing with the symptoms of anger in the provinces rather than its causes. Optimists, however, see signs that the central government is waking up to their plight. Even if leaders are intent on a crack down, progress is likely to be slow. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
