Citizen Lab submission to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights: Impacts of biometric data collection measures on civil society in the Tibet Autonomous region (TAR) and Qinghai

A Citizen Lab submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights details concerns over the People’s Republic of China’s mass biometric data collection in Tibet and Qinghai, noting a lack of public documentation on scope, purpose, and legal justification. It urges the Special Rapporteur to press for clarity on these programs and assess their compliance with China’s human rights obligations, and references a broader study on counter-terrorism’s impact on civil society.
