Laogai: The Chinese Gulag - even the cover is censored

LaoGai: The Chinese Gulag.  This book was released decades ago and I guess it has been re-released in September 2011.  It's available at all good torture facilities in China. The Chinese Government, once again, letting the world know that they are the kings of free speech, pending the censorious black magic marker. 

Not even the cover gets a free ride.  The Laogai Research Foundation is dedicated to documenting and exposing systematic abuses of human rights in China, except on the occasions when it contraves the views of the Chinese Government, which is practically always.
