Government
Policy
Chinese Deny Use of Psychotherapy
for Dissidents
The
Information office of the State Council in
Beijing says that
Western Media claims that
China
uses psychotherapy as a means of social and political control, and to
suppress dissidents, is “malicious slander. . . The accusation that
China
uses psychiatric hospitals for political purposes,” or that it “detains
dissidents as psychopathic patients, lacks evidence and is totally
irresponsible.”
Chinese law [this statement continues] says that any
mentally ill person who is diagnosed as such, who has behaved
dangerously, is not charged as a criminal. Rather, his supervisors and
relatives must have him treated, at government expense. Dissidents who
are said in the Western press to be suffering from government policy
are, in fact, seriously disturbed, and are being treated in hospitals,
humanely. (Xinhua via COMTEX, Internet, 10/4/02)
