Critics continue to decry a top Chinese security official’s candidacy to the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) as its General Assembly convenes from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25 in Istanbul, Turkey.

China’s candidate, Hu Binchen, is the deputy director-general of China’s International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Public Security. He will join two other competitors to run for two seats for Asia in Interpol’s 13-member executive committee.
