【英國內政部首次發表關於「跨境鎮壓」的官方指引和定義 並將其歸類為「國家安全」議題】 【UK Home Office’s First Official Guidance and Definition on Transnational Repression】 On May 14, the UK Home Office issued a guidance entitled “What To Do if You Think You Are the Victim of Transnational Repression (TNR).” This marked the UK Government’s first formal definition of TNR and its first formal recognition of TNR as a national security issue. That same day, Security Minister Dan Jarvis announced the completion of a government-wide review on TNR during the parliamentary debate on the same day,. The review — led by the Defending Democracy Taskforce — examined the scale and impact of TNR in the UK and included input from law enforcement, intelligence services, and victims. It marked a significant step toward a more coordinated and informed government response.

The meeting — along with our ongoing dialogue with Home Office officials — had been part of our continued efforts to ensure that the voices of those affected by TNR could be heard, and that meaningful protections could be put in place. - Support our work: https://www.hkdc.us/donate (fb)
