There are reasonable grounds to suspect that CHEN Zhi (“CHEN”) is an involved person within the meaning of the Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020 on the basis of the following grounds: (1) CHEN is or has been responsible for, engaging in, facilitating or providing support for human rights abuses; (2) CHEN is or has been involved in providing financial services or making available funds, economic resources, goods or technology, knowing or having reasonable cause to suspect that those financial services or funds will or may contribute to a human rights abuse; (3) CHEN is or has been involved in profiting financially from human rights abuses. Specifically, CHEN is or has been involved in the operation of scam centres in Cambodia, including through the Prince Group and Jin Bei groups of companies. The treatment of individuals in these scam centres amounts to a serious abuse of the right not to be subjected to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, and of the right to be free from slavery, not to be held in servitude or required to perform forced or compulsory labour.

Asset freeze and making available provisions, Travel bans

• The Regulations impose financial sanctions through a targeted asset freeze on designated persons and prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available. This involves the freezing of funds and economic resources (non-monetary assets, such as property or vehicles) of designated persons and ensuring that funds and economic resources are not made available to or for the benefit of designated persons, either directly or indirectly. • The effect of the Regulations is to impose a travel ban on persons who are designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of being made subject to immigration sanctions under the Sanctions Act.

The Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020 put in place sanctions measures to deter, and provide accountability for, activities which, if carried out by or on behalf of a State within the territory of that State, would amount to a serious violation by that State of an individual’s: • right to life • right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment • right to be free from slavery, not to be held in servitude or required to perform forced or compulsory labour The Regulations impose financial and immigration sanctions in order to deter, and provide accountability for, activities which, if carried out by or on behalf of a state within the territory of that state, would amount to a serious violation by that state of an individual’s: These activities could be carried out by either a state or non-state actor and, accordingly, both state and non-state actors may be designated under the Regulations. Whilst non-state actors do not have obligations under international human rights law, the UK nevertheless recognises the harmful and devastating impact that such activities by non-state actors can have on individuals’ mental and physical well-being.

Licensing and exception provisions are contained in Part 5 of the Regulations.
