Re-education through labor (RTL; in Chinese, laodong jiaoyang 劳动教养, abbreviated láojiào 劳教) is a system of administrative detentions in the People's Republic of China. The estimated number of detainees in re-education through labor camps is anywhere from 300,000 (China Labor Bulletin, 2007)[1] to 2 million (Laogai Research Foundation, 2006).[2] According to Amnesty international in 2021 up to 2 million, Baptist press estimates more than 3 million are subject to re-education through labor.[3] There are at least 310 camps in China (China Daily, 2007).[4]

Trisam RTL[8] | West or southwest of Lhasa | 1991-1992 | Believed to now be a mandatory education or rehabilitation centre. It has been proposed to now operate as Duilong Compulsory Isolation and Rehabilitation Centre.[9] Trisam, known colloquially after a bridge nearby, is situated around 14 kilometres west of Lhasa city centre in the western suburbs, just inside Toelung Dechen (Chinese: Duilong Deqing) county. Under the RTL system, detainees could be imprisoned there by administrative order for up to three years, carrying out various labour tasks ranging from tending vegetables and emptying septic pits to performing construction labour. Four Trisam prisoners are known to have died between 1987 and 1998 due to abuse at Trisam and earlier places of detention, three of them within three months after release and one while in custody. | ||
