A top Chinese security official is seeking election into the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). However, his candidacy has sparked global opposition from lawmakers and human rights groups.
Hu Binchen, the deputy director-general of China’s International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Public Security, will compete with two other candidates for two seats for Asia in Interpol’s 13-member Executive Committee at the 89th General Assembly session, which will be held from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25 in Istanbul.
