Senator Calls For Magnitsky Sanctions On Hikvision
A sitting US Senator has called on the US to impose Magnitsky sanctions on Hikvision based on a recent UN human rights report.
The UN's top human rights body recently called out Xinjiang surveillance as "highly invasive" and part of potential crimes against humanity. Hikvision has been preparing for Magnitsky sanctions, although it remains unclear if the White House will impose them.
If more politicians began to explicitly call for Magnitsky sanctions on Hikvision, this increases the risk of these powerful sanctions being imposed, ending Hikvision USA and dealing a serious blow to Hikvision overseas sales.
In this post, IPVM examines these remarks and the potential impact.
