Chinese student protesters report surveillance in London
Examples
Date
Chinese students and newly graduated activists in London report that they frequently see middle-aged Chinese men at protests watching them without participating, report getting strange calls, and say their families have been threatened by local authorities in China. Experts say they may be experiencing an escalation of surveillance that previously was limited to photographs and monitoring. Many of activists are newcomers to protest and were unaware of these risks. There were more than 151,000 Chinese students at UK universities in 2021-2022.
