CHINA RIGHTS MONITORChina Rights Monitor is an independent, non-partisan evidence, country information and legal research platform focused on China-related human-rights abuse and cross-border justice risks.
CRM organises public records, testimony, legal material, judgments and policy information into traceable resources for victims, lawyers, courts, researchers, journalists, governments and international organisations.
Our purpose is not to compete for news speed. It is to build a knowledge base capable of professional scrutiny and responsible legal, policy and historical use.
CRM brings together legal, research, editorial, commentary and digital-security experience. Some identities are withheld because of the real security risks associated with China-related human-rights work.

To turn human-rights abuse that may otherwise be hidden, deleted or forgotten into accessible, verifiable and citable records—and to help evidence reach courts, public institutions and historical memory.
Research conclusions are not directed by governments, political parties, funders, clients or partners.
We distinguish verified facts, attributed findings, professional analysis and unverified allegations.
The safety, dignity and informed consent of victims, witnesses and families come before publicity.
Our work is open to evidence-based correction, challenge and review.
Professional authority depends on methods and governance that users can inspect—not simply on institutional claims.
Lawyers, researchers, journalists and public bodies may contact CRM about research, fact-checking, country information and expert support.
