Tibetans-in-exile condemned China’s mass DNA collection in Tibet and said that the multinational companies are equally responsible as they send their technologies which help Beijing in collecting data.
Meanwhile, Dolma Tsering, deputy speaker of the Tibetan parliament-in-exile said that China is collecting DNA data since 2015 to make the surveillance more stringent.
“China has been collecting DNA without consent from the people since 2015 and this has been published in the HRW publication also and they warned the world to be careful about this. But the Chinese bully we all know. Whatever the world doesn’t do they are busy doing it. It’s a system to make surveillance more stringent. Whatever China do is for a bad purpose. It’s to hamper Human rights violations,” Tsering said.
“Therefore, I would say that it is not only China who is wrong in that, all the multi-national companies who are supplying technologies for DNA testing, So they are equally responsible. China’s intention is to make Tibetan people more frustrated, and then their dream is to comply with whatever dictates they do. Even the Self-immolation is because of this,” she added.
According to the survey from Citizen Lab, the atrocities against ethnic minorities in Tibet have skyrocketed.
The mass testing drives not only targeted men but also women and children in the name of ensuring social stability, however, there is very little evidence that this programme is aimed at countering criminal activity, the European Times reported.
