[Please join the petition!] I am calling on @EmmanuelMacron and the French Government to suspend the sales of tactical suits to HK Police: chng.it/RQ9DLR4tcT
1/ Hong Kong police force has just announced to import 3,932 sets of tactical suits from a French company #Protecop. With its headquarters in Paris, Protecop is a defence manufacturer, who provides tailor-made protective equipment for police officers worldwide.
2/ In July 2019, the @Europarl_EN passed a resolution on the situation in HK & called for the EU, its Member States & international community to impose "appropriate export control mechanisms to deny China, & in particular, HK, access to technologies used to violate basic rights."
3/ Countless reports show HK police used excessive force during over the past seven months when suppressing protests in HK. According to @amnesty, police deployed reckless & indiscriminate violence against protesters with arbitrary arrests, brutal beatings, torture in detention.
4/ The police's popularity rating also hit a record low in the latest poll. Apparently, the newly purchased tactical suits will be used in the bloody crackdown of democracy movements in the future.
5/ If Protecop exports those tactical suits to notorious HK police force, it will be a complete violation of the resolution, and probably a stain on the company, and #France as a whole.
6/ The world will probably cast doubts on the French government's determination in safeguarding human rights worldwide since the resolution was supported by the majority of @Europarl_EN in the first place.
7/ @demosisto now invites the world to join our petition to call upon #Frenchgovernment to suspend the export of tactical suits to HK police. We urge #EuropeanCommission to pass all necessary legislation to control exports to countries, including HK, that violate basic rights.
