Summary:"The report, "'Special Measures': Detention and Torture in Chinese Communist Party's Shuanggui System," details abuses against shuanggui detainees, including prolonged sleep deprivation, being forced into stress positions for extended periods of time, deprivation of water and food, and severe beatings. Detainees are also subject to solitary and incommunicado detention in unofficial detention facilities. After "confessing" to corruption, they are typically brought into the criminal justice system, convicted, and sentenced to often lengthy prison terms"--Publisher's description.
