Congress: Pass the Transnational Repression Policy Act
Across the world, authoritarian governments are extending their reach beyond their borders — stalking, threatening, and silencing people who fled to safety. From Uyghur activists in the U.S. being harassed by Chinese state agents, to Russian, Iranian, and Burmese dissidents facing intimidation and surveillance, transnational repression is a growing threat to human rights and democracy everywhere.
These regimes are trying to make sure that no one can speak freely about injustice. The United States must not be a safe haven for authoritarian intimidation.
That’s why we’re calling on Congress to pass the Transnational Repression Policy Act (H.R. 4829 / S. 2525), a bipartisan bill that would, for the first time, create a comprehensive U.S. government strategy to expose, deter, and hold accountable foreign governments that target diaspora and exile communities.
Tell your Members of Congress to support and co-sponsor the Transnational Repression Policy Act (H.R. 4829 / S. 2525).
