Antoine Greizmann immediately breaks his cooperation with the criticized Huawei after reports that they facilitate the persecution of the Uighur minority in China.
And now Sportbladet may reveal that Sarah Sjöström is also ending her criticized collaboration with the telecommunications giant.
– Both parties agree not to extend the agreement, says the swimming star in a statement to Sportbladet.
After reports that Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Huawei has developed facial recognition software that will help the Chinese state monitor and monitor the Muslim minority in the Uyghurs, Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann breaks his agreement with immediate effect, write on Instagram.
The Chinese mobile phone giant has long been a sponsor of swimming star Sarah Sjöström, drawing criticism. When artist Zara Larsson broke her deal with Huawei this summer, the question was raised again.

“For me, it is mainly my interest in technology, photography and innovation, where Huawei is very strong, which makes me think that collaboration is good. I don’t comment on politics or anything like that and I’ve never done that. “Sarah Sjöström said in a statement at the time.
“Good cooperation”
But now the company logo is no longer visible among sponsors on the Sjöström website. In a statement to Sportbladet, Sarah Sjöström confirms that the deal will end.
– I have had a good collaboration with Huawei Sweden. We have a limited time agreement that expires now at the end of the year and both parties agree not to extend the agreement, he says and continues:
– I don’t comment on politics, I’ve never done that. Otherwise, I have no further comment.
Manager Daniel Wessfeldt also presses that no deal has been broken. But I don’t want to give any more background as to why Sarah Sjöström was not interested in expanding.
“I have no idea about the Uyghurs”
– There has been no talk of expanding, he says.
But must Sarah have a reason for not wanting it from him?
– Maybe I did. I have no idea what she is saying now with the Uyghurs, she certainly does not, even though she has been turbulent around the overall deal. But I want to emphasize that we have not interrupted any cooperation. The reason for not extending can make everyone speculate, he says.
