Executive Summary

Drugged and Detained: China’s psychiatric prisons investigates one of the most chilling ways the CCP uses to disappear critics – forced hospitalization in a psychiatric facility without medical justification.
Called Ankang, after the system of police-run psychiatric prisons launched in the 1980s, nowadays, most victims are locked up in regular psychiatric wards, meaning that doctors and hospitals collude with the CCP to subject victims to medically-unnecessary involuntary hospitalizations and forced medication.

Ten years ago, China passed a new Mental Health Law aimed in part at preventing this abuse. But Safeguard Defenders has found that the law has not worked. Local police and government agents continue to routinely and widely practice the political abuse of psychiatry across China.

We used more than 140 secondary sources, the majority interviews with victims and families from 2015 to 2021. This data is just the “tip of the iceberg”.

Drugged and Detained: China’s Psychiatric Prisons trains the spotlight on China’s continued political abuse of psychiatry, a practice known as “Ankang”.
