Methodology This report is based primarily on published Human Rights Watch research and reporting since 2011. In addition to existing research, the report’s primary author held 20 conversations with Human Rights Watch researchers between May and August 2022 to follow up on past or emerging cases of transnational repression. Additional conversations were held with partner organizations and others working on transnational repression. Human Rights Watch wrote to Interpol and all governments that engaged in cases of transnational repression included in this report, excluding Rwanda and Ethiopia, because they had already been contacted about the cases in question. We received a reply only from Interpol, whose comments have been reflected in the case discussions. 3 HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH | FEBRUARY 2024
