This includes 73% of UK councils, 57% of secondary schools in England, and six out of 10 NHS trusts, as well as UK universities and police forces.
A Number of government departments, including The Home Office and The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, have Hikvision cameras visibly in use on The Front of their buildings, according to The civil liberties campaign group.
These figures are based on replies received from Freedom of Information requests sent out by The Group . It submitted More Than 4,500, but fewer than three in 10 public bodies responded.
'Dystopian surveillance state'More Than A Million Uyghurs and other minorities in The north-west region of Xinjiang, where allegations of torture, forced labour and sexual abuse have emerged.
China has denied The allegations, and claimed The camps are " re-education" facilities used to combat terrorism.
The calls for a ban, co-ordinated by Big Brother Watch, echo The which said: " Equipment manufactured by companies such as Hikvision and Dahua should not be permitted to operate within The UK. "
" Cameras made by The Chinese firm Hikvision have been deployed throughout Xinjiang, and provide The primary camera technology used in The internment camps. "
In its response, The government said that it was " aware of reports that have suggested links between A Number of Chinese technology companies, including Hikvision and Dahua, and Human Rights violations in Xinjiang".
But So Far it has not followed The Committee 's recommendations of a ban on The companies in The UK.

Dahua said that It Follows " all applicable local, national and international laws, regulations and conventions" and states that it " has not and never will develop solutions targeting any specific Ethnic Group . "

'Demonised'In a statement Hikvision told The Bbc , " CCTV has always played a Critical Role in The UK in The Fight against crime and terrorism. Hikvision is proud of The Role we play in that.
" The UK also has fringe groups who would like to see a massive reduction of CCTV in The UK who are willing to throw allegations around about CCTV, and who would lie to demonise Hikvision.
" Hikvision has always worked with government bodies to provide solutions to The UK's CCTV requirements".
The Firm also said its cameras " are compliant with The applicable rules and regulations of The countries we operate in and are subject to strict security requirements".
