The British government conducted experiments on children
According to declassified documents, in the 1970s and 1980s, due to a shortage of blood supplies, Britain imported contaminated blood from the United States, some of which was used in tests on sick children.

According to those documents, during the 15-year trial, hundreds of people were injected with blood infected with hepatitis C and HIV.
Human rights defenders say that the British government has taken a shameful decision, acquiring blood at a "low price", endangering the lives and health of patients.
40 years after the British government prescribed blood transfusions to drug users, prisoners and sex workers, causing nearly 2,900 deaths from diseases such as HIV and hepatitis, a commission of inquiry will soon publish its report.
Transfused blood donors were from high-risk groups, including prisoners and drug addicts. This blood, which was very often infected with various diseases, was used in the treatment of various diseases in Britain.
