Police Scotland has been criticised for training officers from Hong Kong’s “brutal” and “aggressive” law enforcement regime.
Senior members of the Chinese city’s police force attended the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan Castle in Alloa. They took part in leadership courses, according to official documents.
The disclosure emerged as police authorities in the former British colony face fresh international criticism.
In the US State Department’s annual report on civil liberties in China, Macau and Hong Kong, it said that “significant human rights issues included police brutality against protesters and persons in custody”.
Hong Kong authorities hit back, claiming officers had done their duty in restoring “law and order” following anti-Beijing government protests.
