China dismissed a report alleging that it pressures Tibetans and Uyghurs in Switzerland to spy on their communities, calling it “misleading information.” The Swiss government released a report on Wednesday suggesting that China is pressuring Tibetans and Uyghurs in the European country to spy on each other while systematically monitoring politically active people.
“Transnational repression against people of Tibetan and Uyghur ethnicity is taking place in Switzerland,” the report published in German says. “They are allegedly being put under pressure by actors from the People’s Republic of China and are in some cases being prevented from exercising their fundamental rights.”
