One Man’s Unprecedented Victory Over Chinese Electroshock ‘Conversion Clinics': WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Chinese<\/p>\n

While so-called conversion therapy remains prevalent in China, one man<\/a>, Yanzi Peng, recently brought unprecedented litigation<\/a> against the local clinic that hypnotized him and gave him electroshock therapy…and he won a surprising legal victory.<\/p>\n

This 8-minute short documentary (produced by Al Jazeera’s San Francisco based digital channel, AJ+) follows Peng’s legal journey and his work with activists to correct misconceptions among parents of gay<\/a> and lesbian<\/a> children that lead them to send their kids to these Chinese electroshock “conversion clinics.”<\/p>\n

As Iron, the director of the Beijing LGBT center, says in the film, “We want to let people know that electroshock still exists, and that it hurts our LGBT community.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
