The BESIII experiment at the electron-positron collider BEPCII in Beijing (China) is successfully operating since 2008 and has collected large data samples in the tau-mass region, including the world's largest data samples at the $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ resonances. The recent observations of hyperon polarizations at BESIII opens a new window for testing CP violation, as it allows for simultaneous production and detection of hyperon and anti-hyperon pair two-body weak decays. The CP-symmetry tests can be performed in processes like e.g. $J/\psi\to\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$, $J/\psi,\psi'\to\Sigma^+\bar{\Sigma}^-$ and $J/\psi\to\Xi^-\bar{\Xi}^+$. For the $\Xi^-\to\Lambda\pi^-$ decay it is possible to perform three independent CP tests and determine the strong phase and weak phase difference.
