Chinese authorities have been gathering DNA samples across Tibet, including from kindergarten children without the apparent consent of their parents, Human Rights Watch has said.
In a new report released on Monday, the rights organisation claimed new evidence showing a systematic DNA collection drive for entire populations across Tibet as part of a “crime detection” drive.
gotta say: not a big fan of the worldwide effort to prevent crime before it happens by treating everyone as a criminal preemptively and going from there!
Especially when they even target kindergarten children without parental consent. It could also further open the door to mass discrimination.
I really don’t get how there are people out there who think this is okay, or that it’s justified. How can they not see how blatantly racist this is?
Every Tibetan is a potential criminal. You never know who isn’t going to love China enough
