CHINA<\/span> is turning into a Judge Dredd-style police state where citizens are thrown into secret prisons and tortured without a court process or access to lawyers, human rights activists have claimed.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

Later this month, President Xi will introduce a new “corruption” law which will legalise the instant detention of any government worker who dares threaten his near-total authority.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

The Sun Online has spoken to human rights activist Peter Dahlin, 36, who spent 23 agonising days in one of these hell-hole “black jails.”<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

The Swedish-born activist was jailed for his work exposing rights abuses in the increasingly totalitarian one-party dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

Peter claims that prisoners held in these secret prisons, usually for a six month period, are “beaten, deprived of sleep and force-fed drugs.”<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

He said: “I was treated fairly well because I was a foreign national, however, I was still interrogated every day for five to six hours and intentionally kept awake.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

A protester is pictured being arrested in China. There is nothing to suggest this man was sent to a ‘black jail’ – but hundreds like him are every year<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

“<\/span>They would also have these incredibly loud screeching noises coming from the floor or above me to make sure I couldn’t fall asleep.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

“<\/span>I was also woken one night to hear the sound of my Chinese colleague being beaten in the room beside me which was clearly done intentionally.”<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

Peter was eventually released and deported after agreeing to a televised “confession” where he apologised for harming the Chinese government and hurting “the feelings of the Chinese people.”<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

So-called ‘black jail’ detention, which China refers to as Residential Surveillance at a Designated Location (RSDL), involves purpose-built prisons which operate outside the country’s judicial process.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

Peter claims China is rapidly turning into a police state with officers have “complete power” to lift people off the street and jail them without access to a lawyer.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

He calls this “enforced disappearance” adding: “Your family are not told where you are, your case is not published in the government database.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

“<\/span>So you basically disappear off the street. No court order is needed.”<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

Once released, prisoners are kept under police supervision for at least one year.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

Peter added: “Sometimes they are allowed to go back to their home in this probation period but often they are kept in a hotel against their will.”<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

This expansion of police power is no more evident in the Muslim-majority province of Xinjiang in west China which has more officers per capita than the terrifying Stasi-run East Germany did during the Cold War.<\/span><\/p>
