A letter to the Home Secretary on transnational repression in the UK

Today the Tackling Transnational Repression in the UK Working Group, which Index co-founded, sent a letter to the Home Secretary, Rt Hon Shabana Mahmood. It was in response to the UK Government’s disappointing and underwhelming response to the report produced by the Joint Committee on Human Rights looking at the threat of transnational repression to those based in the UK.

Without more transparency and an approach anchored in the experiences of targeted communities in the UK, we cannot offer the protection and supported needed by those targeted for speaking out in the public interest. You can download the letter here or read it below.
