  1. It seems #RightsCon 2026 organizers were pressured to exclude specific participants and topics:

    »The statement, although seemingly an invitation to negotiate, still lacked any concrete information as to why the government decided to announce they were postponing RightsCon.

    What the government wanted from us in order to lift the postponement was conveyed to us informally from multiple sources: in order for RightsCon to continue, we would have to moderate specific topics and exclude communities at risk, including our Taiwanese participants, from in-person and online participation.«

  2. “Chinese authorities are increasingly simulating formal criminal process against named individuals outside their jurisdiction. This approach asserts an explicitly extraterritorial claim: that the Chinese Communist Party can investigate, list and punish Taiwanese citizens regardless of nationality, residence or international law.”

  3. China's transnational repression silences a New York film festival: 13 filmmakers withdrew under pressure, even for apolitical films, as Beijing reaches abroad. UN & EU raise alarms, but critics demand action. 🎥🚫🌍 icij.org/investigations/china- #ChinaTargets #TransnationalRepression

  4. 🇨🇦 Canada is set to appoint its first Foreign Interference Commissioner next month, reinforcing efforts to combat transnational repression and protect sovereignty.

  6. My recent interview with @ishr.ch about #TransnationalRepression and what should be done. When safety becomes conditional, so does democracy. We don’t need more praise — we need protection. We don’t need to be admired for our resilience — we need systems that prevent violence in the first place.

  7. The party that holds power in China today is the same one that did so on June 4th, 1989 during the Tiananmen Square massacre. Governments around the world may have forgotten, but activists from Hong Kong, Tibet and Taiwan have not ▶️

  8. #New #HumanRights data from Human Rights Measurement Initiative.
    #China once again got low scores, among the lowest, in empowerment right in 2024 - only 1.9 out of 10. Restrictions on #FreedomofExpression & #PoliticalRights. #TransnationalRepression is also serious. Details: rightstracker.org/country/CHN

  9. Saudi HRD Abdulrahman Al-Khalidi has spent over 3 years in detention in #Bulgaria. He’s at risk of deportation to 🇸🇦 where prison, torture, or execution await. Yesterday, Saudi Arabia executed journalist Turki Al-Jasser for tweeting. #FreeAlKhalidi #NoDeportation #TransnationalRepression

  10. 8) I am not an exception. I am not alone. Dissidents across Europe face the same threats — and the same silence from host countries. We demand protection. We demand accountability. We demand action to confront #TransnationalRepression

  11. 1) I spoke at theEuropean Parliament to expose how #TransnationalRepression doesn’t stop at borders. After 3 arrests in #Egypt, I was forced into exile. But the threats followed me to Beirut, Nairobi, Berlin, and most recently, Geneva, where I was targeted for working with the UN.

  12. Yesterday at @re-publica.com I spoke about how authoritarian regimes silence dissent abroad. We call on Germany to act: create a trusted contact point, provide trauma-informed support, hold perpetrators accountable, and restrict surveillance tech. #TransnationalRepression #republica25

  13. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @Taz.de featured my story as an exiled Egyptian journalist still facing threats across borders. From Geneva to Berlin: the repression didn’t end when I left Egypt. It just changed shape. Full article: taz.de/Tag-der-Pres... #TransnationalRepression #PressFreedom

  14. Hong Kong police have detained the father of Anna Kwok, an activist living in exile in the US.

    "It is the first time Hong Kong authorities have charged a family member of a wanted activist under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, more commonly known as Article 23."

  15. Thank you @ECPMF for standing with me and for calling out transnational repression for what it is: a threat to press freedom and human rights. Even in exile, the harassment continues. It’s time host countries like #Germany take action. #WorldPressFreedomDay #TransnationalRepression

  18. ICIJ’s China Targets investigation is based on interviews with 105 victims of China’s transnational repression in 23 countries, as well as documents from multiple sources

    "...the evidence reveals a coordinated and systematic effort by the Chinese government to neutralize dissent in all its forms by individuals the world over."

  20. Although Vietnam ratified the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2015, such ill-treatment continues in #Vietnamese #prisons. In September and October 2024, four #PrisonersOfConscience went on hunger strike for several weeks to protest their conditions of detention in Prison No. 6 in Nghe An. These four activists included Le Manh Hung, Dang Dinh Bach, Bui Van Thuan and Trinh Ba Tu. They denounced the use of “tiger cages” as a means of #SolitaryConfinement, which were cubes made of iron bars with about 1 meter of space to move around as well as the inability to exit and interact with other prisoners.

    The Vietnamese authorities have also increasingly violated human rights beyond their borders through #TransnationalRepression. Blogger Duong Van Thai, who was #kidnapped from #Bangkok in April 2023, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 3 years probation in a closed-door trial on October 30, 2024 with the charge of “propaganda against the state” (Article 117 of the Penal Code).

    Another ongoing case of transnational repression is against Y Quynh Bdap, a #Christian and member of the #Ede ethnic group in Vietnam. Bdap fled to #Thailand in 2018 to escape religious and political #persecution by Vietnamese officials. He was granted #RefugeeStatus by the UN refugee agency. But, under pressure from the Vietnamese government, the Thai police arrested Bdap in June 2024 with the threat of #extradition back to Vietnam.

    Besides the case of Duong Van Thai kidnapped in Bangkok in 2023, there were two other cases of transnational kidnapping, which occurred in #Berlin in 2017 (Trinh Xuan Thanh) and in Bangkok in 2019 (Truong Duy Nhat). The three kidnappings happened under the purview of Mr. Tô Lâm, who was Minister of Public Security from 2016 to 2024. With these cases of transnational repression, the Vietnamese authorities are testing how far it can extend its power to #SilenceActivists.
