中國醫院用電擊療法治網癮 印度網友大呼可怕

At a time when the internet seems to have become as integral to humanity as air, water and food, there is a large debate on its benefits up against its demerits.

如今，就像空氣、水和食品一樣，互聯網成爲了人們不可缺失的一部分，人們也對其優劣出現大量爭論。

In East China’s Shandong province though, there’s no debate – just electroshock therapy.

然而，在山東省可不會這樣，那裏對付網癮採用電擊療法。

An internet addiction treatment centre in Linyl has shocked the world after it was revealed that in its now infamous Room 13, patients have been receiving electroshocks to rid them of their ‘addiction’ to the internet.

臨沂市的網癮治療中心震驚了世界。據披露，病人爲了戒網癮而接受電擊療法。

State-run Global Times reported that over 6000 inmates – most of whom are teenagers – have been kept here since 2006.

環球時報報道稱，從2006年以來，超過6000多人，大多數是青少年，在那裏接受治療。

What is even more shocking than the revelations of shock therapy being used is that the center was already banned from conduting the procedure in 2009 by the then Ministry of Health.

更令人震驚的是，從2009年開始，該中心就被衛生部禁止。

This month it was revealed that the center was still carrying out the procedure, this time under a new name – low-frequency-pulse- electronic acupunctre.

然而，本月的披露顯示，該中心仍然在進行電擊療法，這次換了一個新名，叫做低頻脈衝電子鍼灸。
