Amnesty International alleges that China’s export controls for law enforcement equipment are “weak, lack transparency and do not appear to assess the human rights record of the recipient country.” Chinese exporters’ gear has been used to smash riots in Uganda and suppress dissent in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the 2011 election, the report alleges. Chinese-made electric shock stun batons — a common torture tool for clubbing and electrocuting victims — appear to be carried by police in Ghana, Senegal, Egypt and Madagascar, where respect for human rights is minimal, Amnesty contends.
