China and Iran must be made to pay for COVID-19 cover-up: Canadian report
“Although this situation is still developing, there is compelling evidence that both Chinese and Iranian regimes buried evidence of the pandemic in its critical early days, choosing to attempt to maintain power and/or stability at the cost of the health and safety of their own citizens and the global population,” writes Sarah Teich, an expert in human rights and security law.
“They are accused of intentionally underreporting data, concealing the extent of the outbreak from the international community and from their own citizenry, and silencing whistleblowers at the expense of protecting public health.”
The report “Not Immune – Exploring liability of authoritarian regimes for the COVID-19 pandemic and its cover-up” was released by the Ottawa Macdonald-Laurier Institute and the Canadian Security Research Group.
