Masanjia Labor Camp (simplified Chinese: 马ä¸å®¶å³ææ; traditional Chinese: 馬ä¸å®¶åææ; pinyin: MÇsÄnjiÄ Láojià o SuÇ) is a "re-education" through labor camp located in the Yuhong district near Shenyang, in the Liaoning province of China. The facility is sometimes called the Ideology Education School of Liaoning Province. It was first established in 1956 under China's re-education through labor, or laojiao policy, and was expanded in 1999 in order to detain and "re-educate" followers of the Falun Gong spiritual practice. According to former detainees, Falun Gong practitioners represent 50â80% of inmates in the camp. Other prisoners include petty criminals, prostitutes, drug addicts, petitioners, and members of other unapproved religious minorities, such as underground Christians.
