#StopTransnationalRepression - At some point, we have all heard the phrase Transnational Repression being thrown about, but what does it really mean and why is it so important to talk about?
📢 In many ways, Transnational repression is a new term for an old problem that has seen a disturbing rising trend globally in recent years where 3.5 million people worldwide are at risk of transnational repression. Transnational repression, wielded by authoritarian regimes, extends across borders to silence dissent, often targeting refugees with harassment, abduction, or worse. Normalised and institutionalised, it leads to severe human rights violations, impacting not just individuals but their families and communities, fostering a chilling effect on dissent at home and abroad.
🔎 #WhatsHappeningInThailand? Since 2014, over 150 individuals have been victims of TNR in Thailand. (Freedom House) Thai authorities are collaborating with neighbouring governments, especially during regional meetings hosted in Thailand, to suppress political dissent and maintain an appearance of unchallenged authorities. Leading up to the Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet’s visit to Thailand, 10 Cambodian activists were arrested in December, and three more in February by weaponising immigration laws. Hun Manet then extended his appreciation to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin of Thailand. These detained activists now face the threat of extradition to Cambodia, where they will face graver repression methods.
Most of these activists, Manushya Foundation is now supporting, with securing their bail and resettlement.

Thank you for this important piece on transnational repression facing exiled activists in Thailand — the arrests of the 10 Cambodian activists ahead of Hun Manet's visit are deeply worrying. For groups supporting them from abroad, keeping sensitive contact data secure is crucial; a phone number extractor that validates numbers locally without uploading them helps avoid unnecessary exposure. Solidarity with everyone defending democracy and refugee rights.

I tend to take a few minutes before trying anything unfamiliar online. While checking okwin I mainly focused on understanding the basic layout and the information available. I wasn't really looking for anything complicated, just enough details to get a clear picture. That small amount of checking helped me understand the subject better and made it easier to decide what information was actually relevant.
