Transnational Repression: Persecution Across Borders
Date
July 15, 2025
Oppressive governments are reaching across borders to harass and persecute their citizens and exiles. Transnational repression has become a normal and institutionalised practice for dozens of countries that seek to control their citizens abroad. This repression can include intimidation, harassment, abductions, and assassinations. In this event, Yana Gorokhovskaia, Research Director, Strategy and Design, at Freedom House, will outline findings from work undertaken by Freedom House on the subject of transnational repression over the last decade, and will reflect on how democracies can respond.
This event, hosted by the Institute of International and European Affairs, is scheduled from 3:00pm to 4:00pm Irish Standard Time (10:00am to 11:00am ET).
