中国医院用电击疗法治网瘾 印度网友大呼可怕

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，就像空气、水和食品一样，互联网成为了人们不可缺失的一部分，人们也对其优劣出现大量争论。

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

然而，在山东省可不会这样，那里对付网瘾采用电击疗法。

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.

临沂市的网瘾治疗中心震惊了世界。据披露，病人为了戒网瘾而接受电击疗法。

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

环球时报报道称，从2006年以来，超过6000多人，大多数是青少年，在那里接受治疗。

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.

更令人震惊的是，从2009年开始，该中心就被卫生部禁止。

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，本月的披露显示，该中心仍然在进行电击疗法，这次换了一个新名，叫做低频脉冲电子针灸。
