Abstract
According to the regulations, the individual to be reformed should be given a copy of the labor-education notice; this is to enable the individual to check the circumstances and to prevent possible false incrimination. However, I did not get my copy of the labor-education notice; when I asked for it, they even said that it was of no use to me and therefore there was no necessity to give me one. Not only I, even the unit at Lotus Temple which was in charge of carrying out my reform was not given a formal copy, only a hand-copied copy. Only later, when the Lotus Temple unit asked for it, was a copy sent. Indeed they are all members of the same family inside the Public Security Bureau; everything can be negotiated; even when there are no formal procedures concerning labor education, things can be handled satisfactorily.
