Reporters ,Amnesty International,
the human-rights watchdog
organization, in collaboration with
the Omega Research Foundation, a
British organization focused on
studying the international use and
distribution of law-enforcement
equipment on Tuesday made claims
that Chinese
companies are now massively
exporting torture equipment to
Africa.
According to the report, over 130
Chinese firms are involved in
manufacturing and selling weighted
cuffs, neck cuffs, electric shock
batons, restraint chairs, spike
batons, and more torture devices.

Amnesty International described the
act as a “worrying trade”, in which
the “inherently abusive”
aforementioned instruments are
being shipped to Africa.
China is known for its use of torture
to extract confessions from
suspects and according to Amnesty,
some of its home-made equipment
like projectile stun guns and
handcuffs are considered standard
police issue and “can have a
legitimate use in law enforcement if
used correctly and in line with
international standards for law
enforcement.”

Amnesty also stated that the country
also specializes in selling torture
instruments to police departments in
countries with miserable human
rights records.
So far, Liberia, Uganda, and
Madagascar are among the
countries that have used the Chinese
services to import such torture
equipment to their nations.
According to Xinhua, China’s state
news outlet, three officers and four
security personnel from Harbin,
China were convicted of torturing
and killing one of seven suspects to
get confessions this week alone.
Although there has been a huge
increase (28 a decade ago, now
130) in the number of Chinese
companies that are involved in the
manufacturing of torture
instruments, they have not upped
protocols to “ensure that the exports
do not end up in the wrong hands,”
says Amnesty. “Instead, most of the
equipment is going to African
countries where the rule of law is
poor and where the potential for
abuse is high, the human rights
advocacy organization says.
