CCP Uses Health Code as a Surveillance Tool - Dissidents Query
Epidemic prevention has given the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) an easy excuse to impose #HealthCode in Chinese cities.
In recent days, the health codes of a number of social activists in China have been switched to red or experienced unusual app errors for no apparent reasons. They question whether the Health code has become a tool for CCP to tighten their fist over dissidents, curbing their freedom to travel and move around cities.
#XiYan, one of the civil rights lawyers involved in the 709 crackdowns, wanted to visit the mother of Zhang Zhan, a citizen journalist and a former lawyer in Shanghai.
Ignoring local police's disapproval, Xi went ahead with his plan, only to find that his health code switched to red.
Xi shared a photograph of himself in the airport and his health code in red on social media.
#WangYu, another human rights lawyer, posted on Twitter on November 7 that she was strained in Tianjin as she failed to update her health code on her way back to Beijing.
Wang's husband, #BaoLongJun who is also a human rights lawyer, also could not generate a health code on his phone on his way from Suzhou back to Beijing.
