Tell the UK government: Stop funding repression in Tibet!

 













Did you know that the UK government is funding Chinese-state surveillance? We must put a stop to this.

Hikvision is the biggest manufacturer of CCTV in the world and it is controlled by the Chinese government. Its cameras are used to support the surveillance of Tibetans and Uyghurs in their own occupied lands.











An investigation by Free Tibet has found that several government departments have bought and use Hikvision security cameras. Unbelievably, UK taxpayer money is being given to a company that supports Chinese government repression in Tibet, the least free place in the world.

Your taxes go from your pocket, to the government, to Hikvision and potentially on to the Chinese government.

Many people are also worried that Hikvision cameras could be accessed by the Chinese government and used to spy on Western nations. Hikvision is already banned by the US government and the UK’s Ministry of Defence told us it advises other departments not to use the company.

The UK government must stop purchasing Hikvision equipment and ban their sales in the UK.

With your help, we can strike a significant blow against a company that is instrumental in the oppression of Tibetan people.

Please sign our petition to Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss MP, to ban Hikvision and stop funding genocide.
