CHICAGO: Another US senator has joined a chorus against Pennsylvania-based NonLethal Technologies for selling riot gear to Hong Kong that is being used against protesters.
In a letter to NonLethal's president shared on Twitter, Scott said the sales were equivalent to supporting efforts of the Chinese president to"harm ordinary citizens and peaceful protestors". He urged the manufacturer of tear gas to"put human rights above profits". What began as opposition to a now-withdrawn extradition Bill has evolved into a pro-democracy movement fanned by fears that China is stifling Hong Kong's freedoms, guaranteed under a"one country, two systems" formula introduced in 1997.
