The entire history of communism in the 20th century reeked of mass murder.
Very descriptive
"They would then be told that they would be transferred to another prison. Some were, often to a forced labor camp. But many would be taken to another room in the basement, on one wall of which was a meter stick. They would be told that they would be given a physical examination before being moved. Told to stand with their back against the meter stick to measure their height, a small trapdoor would open behind their head and a KGB executioner would shoot them dead."

But is "Human Rights Watch" part of this system- a form of "'purity' washing"?
In late 2012, Chinese President Xi Jinping launched a “war on corruption,”
not held in police stations or other official detention facilities, but often in hostels and training facilities for Party cadres.
The indefinite isolation of shuanggui – which itself can amount to torture – causes detainees’ minds to “collapse after… three to five days” and “answer everything you ask,” according to Li Peng, who identified himself as a CDI officer.
CDI officers are only subject to oversight within the Party. CDI officers otherwise appear to be able to act unlawfully with impunity.
In many cases shuanggui detention begins with an enforced disappearance, with detainees’ families having no idea where their loved one is or why he or she is being held. Shuanggui detainees (also referred to as “CDI detainees”) are not held in police stations or other official detention facilities, but often in hostels and training facilities for Party cadres.
