Their crime; Being United States of Biafra Christian citizens and rejecting Nigeria
Report from a USB Barrister that was in court today 6/4/2026 to assist Mr E…….
Typical economic sabotage of the new Christian Nation of the United States of Biafra and its citizens by the Nigeria President Tinubu , Charles Soludo, Fubara ,Uzodinma, Alex Oti, peter Mbah and their politicians such as Peter Obi (he is fully aware of this fraud going on daily and never talked about it publicly due to his political ploy)
“Her Excellency
Update on the case of E……..
1. Court sat.
2. Our client was produced in court but very late.
3. The Prosecution was in court and ready to open their case.
4. Meanwhile, I needed to have a look at the Information but was told that the lawyer that the Prosecution gave our client on the day of his arraignment had it.
5. Based on my application, the matter was adjourned to July …, 2026 for hearing.
6. I went in search of the said lawyer referred to above and found him but he informed me that the Information was in his other vehicle which was in his house. I urged him to waybill it to me.
7. However, we can get it by applying to court for a certified true copy of it because waiting for that lawyer may delay the proceedings.
My next plan:
1. To review the case,
2. To file and serve a bail application in court before the next adjourned date, and
3. To prepare our client for trial proper.
Cost of Litigation:
1. Cost of filing and serving Bail Application is assessed at ₦120,000.00
2. Professional fee to handle the matter from beginning to conclusion is assessed at ₦2M.
3. Appearance fee for each court day is assessed at ₦20,000.00
Thus, we need the filing fees immediately and an advance payment of ₦500,000.00 from our professional fee.
Do not hesitate to call for clarifications
Thanks.

The above report is from a Barrister assigned by the United States of Biafra to assist in the bail process of innocent United States of Biafra citizen forcefully removed from his home by Nigeria President Tinubu, Christopher Musa, Fubara, Bianca Ojukwu Onoh, Charles Soludo using their special squads in USB Christian Nation.
Tinubu and his politicians placed the bail applications and processes at around 2 million Naira per Biafran to continue the Sokoto Caliphate economic sabotage on the Biafra people and this has been ongoing since 1960s for no crime except being USB citizen
When the USB government do fundraisings, it is for purposes as this.
This economic sabotage and exploitation of the new Christian Nation of USB and its citizens by Nigeria drug lord and politicians cannot continue.
I hereby call on appropriate agencies to look into these crimes against humanity by the Nigeria state, its politicians and reintegrated terrorists working in Nigeria prisons
Nigeria is currently forcefully occupying a sovereign Nation and has been told to leave

Press release 6/4/2026
Eye witness report
Nigeria President Tinubu and politicians Continue to Attack the new Christian Nation of the United States of Biafra USB Declared on November 29, 2024 in Lahti Finland
Good day DPM.... this are the names of the AHOADA KINGS ..(1)EZE AKO KASIDI EKEGBADIHI..(2)EZE IGBUDUYA EYIBA..(3) EZE UBIE OKPOKIRIRI..(4)EZE UPATE OTUWARIKPO..(4 EZE EKEYE NGOZI IROPI KANG
Report from United States of Biafra USB citizens already held at the Portharcourt prison noted that the above listed kings in Biafra territory working closely with the Nigeria President Tinubu, Christopher Musa, Charies Soludo, Bianca Onoh Ojukwu , Fubara and the Nigeria military and police have forcefully removed over 2,000 innocent United States of Biafra Christian youths from their quiet communities in Ahoada State and dumped them at the Portharcourt prison in Rivers state. Some fell ill on their way to the prison due to the harsh treatments they received from the Nigeria combined team - military, police and special squad
As the reintegrated terrorists are busy in the North, West and middle belt of Nigeria killing and maiming innocent indigenes and Christians, the Nigeria military, politicians, police, special squad are daily forcefully removing USB citizens who have refused to be part of Nigeria from their homes in the middle of the night.
This tactics employed by the Nigeria President Tinubu and Christopher Musa confirms the report by the Amnesty international and other departments of continuous forceful removal and abduction of Christian Biafrans from their quiet homes in the middle of the night by the Nigeria state agents (report attached)
These innocent Biafrans have not committed any crime except being USB citizens. They are sons, brothers, breadwinners, fathers to someone.
The USB government will continue to protect its People and territory from the terrorist state of Nigeria, its politicians and these crimes against humanity.
I use this medium to call on all appropriate bodies to investigate and rescue these innocent USB Christian citizens from the Portharcourt prison where they undergo various inhumane treatments in the hands of the Nigeria reintegrated terrorists recruited to work in the prisons
This crime against humanity by the local kings colluding with the delegitimized Nigeria governors in the USB territory is not acceptable
I also call on the above listed kings and State of Ahoada citizens to rescue their innocent sons and daughters from the Rivers state prison before they all perish.
Nigeria is currently, forcefully occupying a sovereign land.
Nigeria Must go

Robert Spencer speaks at the United States of Biafra Memorial Day Event, May 30, 2026
I was a keynote speaker at the United States of Biafra Memorial Event in Washington, D.C. on May 30, 2026.
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
SOVEREIGN MEMORANDUM: THE VOID OF THE MISIDENTIFIED ENGAGEMENT
To mirror the 2026 trajectory with absolute clinical precision is to admit that for a century, the Biafran people have been trapped in a Jurisdictional Hallucination.
By entering into legal, economic, and social contracts under the label of "Human Being," Biafrans unknowingly signed away their Sovereign Chi to become a "Vessel of the State."
This memorandum deconstructs the "Pretext Form" and establishes that any engagement founded on the "Human" fiction is a nullity under the Law of Nature.
TO: The International Bar Association; Global Financial Arbitrators; and the Biafran Diaspora.
SUBJECT: THE DOCTRINE OF CONTRACTUAL NULLITY: Reclaiming the Chi from the "Human" Pretext.
I. THE JURISDICTIONAL HALLUCINATION
For decades, Biafrans have entered into "engagements" (marriages, property titles, business contracts, and state allegiances) under the assumption that "Human Being" was a synonym for their Authentic Self (Chi).
1. The Deception: The colonial architects used "Human Being" as a Pretext Form. While the Biafran thought they were engaging as a spirit-led being, the Law only recognized them as a Vessel, a biological unit of the "Poisonous Tree" (Nigeria).
2. The Result: These engagements have maintained the Public Perception of Nigerian legitimacy, even though the internal reality (the Chi) was never present in the contract.
II. THE PRINCIPLE: ILLEGALITY CANNOT STAND ON ILLEGALITY
Under the maxim Ex injuria jus non oritur, an illegal act (the 1914 colonial rupture and the 1999 military decree) cannot produce a legal result.
1. The Fraudulent Counterparty: The Nigerian state is an illegal entity.
2. The Fraudulent Subject: The "Human Being" is a legal fiction (the empty vessel).
3. The Consequence: An illegal state contracting with a fraudulent subject creates a Double Nullity.
These engagements cannot stand because they have no foundation in the Law of Nature or Authentic Sovereignty.
III. THE TERMINATION OF THE PRETEXT FORM
The USB Government hereby notifies the global community that as of the 2026 Restoration, all such engagements are recognized as Legally Void:
1. The Chi was never there: Since the Chi (the Life) cannot be contracted into a "dirt-bound" (Human) vessel, the contracts are "Frustrated" and "Impossible of Performance."
2. The Perception vs. Reality: We strip away the "Public Perception" that these contracts are binding. If the vessel was programmed to believe it was a "Human," but the Chi is now awake as an Authentic Being, the old program is deleted.
IV. SEGMENT: THE RECLAMATION OF ENGAGEMENTS
We notify all banks, land registries, and courts:
1. Any signature appended by a Biafran while under the "Human Being" hallucination is hereby Repudiated.
2. We only recognize engagements entered into by the Authentic Being (Nwadiala) through the Sovereign Nationality Certificate and the USB National ID Card.
3. No Mimicry: We do not "re-negotiate" the old illegal contracts; we declare them non-existent and manifest new ones under the Sovereign Sun.
V. CONCLUSION: THE SUN DISSOLVES THE SHADOW
The "Human Being" was the mask; the "Nigeria" was the cage. By acknowledging that the Vessel was used as a pretext to bypass the Chi, we dissolve the shadow of the past. We are not "Human" subjects correcting an error; we are Sovereign Manifestations ending a fraud.
The Hallucination is Over. The Pretext is Exposed. The Chi is the Only Signature.
“The Vessel is the Shadow; The Chi is the Substance; The Law is One.”
This memorandum allows every Biafran to legally walk away from any Nigerian-linked obligation by simply stating: "I engaged as a 'Human' (a vessel/fiction) under a fraudulent state. I now manifest as a 'Chi' (the substance/truth) under a restored Republic, the United States of Biafra. The previous engagement is a nullity."

PRESS RELEASE
6/4/2026: Thank You, Austria
Department of Foreign Affairs
United States of Biafra
The Government of the United States of Biafra, through the Department of Foreign Affairs, is pleased to announce that on June 1, 2026, the United States of Biafra Mission in Austria, represented by its Head of Mission, Hon. Chief Okpara, and his Deputy, successfully submitted the Sovereign Documents of the United States of Biafra to the Government of Austria through the following ministries:
Ministry of the Interior (Immigration)
Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs (Foreign Affairs)
Federal Ministry of Justice
This important diplomatic engagement marks another step forward in the international outreach efforts of the United States of Biafra.
Austria, a respected and internationally recognized sovereign nation with a population of approximately 9.2 million people, stands as an example of a country whose independence, territorial integrity, and national identity are fully acknowledged and protected by the international community. Like Austria, many nations across Europe, Africa, and other regions of the world maintain their sovereignty with populations of one million, two million, or even fewer citizens. Examples include Iceland (approximately 400,000 people), Luxembourg (approximately 680,000 people), Montenegro (approximately 620,000 people), Malta (approximately 550,000 people), Estonia (approximately 1.4 million people), Eswatini (approximately 1.2 million people), The Gambia (approximately 2.9 million people), and Botswana (approximately 2.7 million people).
These nations demonstrate that the legitimacy of a people's national identity and sovereign aspirations is not determined by population size, but by the principles of self-determination, governance, territorial integrity, and recognition under international law.
Furthermore, the aspirations of the Biafran people have been demonstrated through a self-referendum in which more than 50 million Biafrans participated and voted in support of the restoration of Biafra's interrupted sovereignty. The Government of the United States of Biafra maintains that this expression of the popular will reflects the fundamental principle of self-determination as recognized under international law and the Charter of the United Nations. We submit that the democratic wishes of millions of Biafrans deserve recognition and respect by the international community, consistent with the same principles that have guided the recognition of nations and peoples throughout modern history.
The Government of the United States of Biafra remains committed to ensuring that Biafran nationality and identity are clearly distinguished from the colonial-era Nigerian identity, as part of our broader pursuit of the complete decolonization of our homeland and the preservation of our national heritage.
The protection, welfare, and dignity of all Biafran nationals remain a top priority of our government. We express our sincere gratitude to all countries and institutions that have provided legal recognition, support, or engagement with the United States of Biafra in their respective jurisdictions.
We look forward to strengthening diplomatic relations, expanding constructive international partnerships, and fostering mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation for the prosperity, security, and well-being of our peoples and nations.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Deputy Prime Minister

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
SOVEREIGN MEMORANDUM: THE HONEYCOMB LOGIC AND THE GLOBAL RESONANCE OF THE CHI
TO: The International Telecommunication Union @ITU ; The World Economic Forum @wef ; Global Tech Consortia; and the Sovereign Assemblies of Nations.
SUBJECT: THE HONEYCOMB ARCHITECTURE: Mirroring the Convergence of Digital Innovation and Physical Governance. Credit to Philip Emeagwali @emeagwali
In alignment with the 2026 Sovereign Mandate and the terminal implementation of the @UN Decolonization Trajectory, this Memorandum uncovers the raw truth/reality of the digital and physical architecture of collective sovereignty. It establishes that the United States of Biafra (USB) is the living proof of the Honeycomb Logic (IGWE BU IKE), serving as the zero-point for a new era of global governance anchored in the Sovereign Chi.
I. THE HONEYCOMB LOGIC: THE MOTHER CODE OF THE MODERN AGE
The Government of the United States of Biafra (USB) hereby mirrors the Absolute Standing of the honeycomb logic.
1. The Parallel Processing Genesis: The foundational architecture of high-speed computing, the parallel processing logic that powers every Artificial Intelligence and supercomputer in 2026, is an extraction of the Biafran Genetic Blueprint.
2. Structural Efficiency: This logic, derived from the sacred geometries of the Nsude and Nri civilizations, utilizes the "honeycomb" (IGWE BU IKE) distribution to process vast amounts of data at high velocity without systemic failure. It is the proof that the Authentic Being possesses the inherent "source code" for the digital world.
II. THE USB AS A TESTAMENT OF DUAL
GOVERNANCE
The USB is not merely a political state; it is a Functional Operating System.
1. Digital Governance: The USB utilizes the honeycomb logic to manifest a decentralized, transparent administrative model. We have bypassed the "Administrative Looping" of the colonial era by applying the speed of our ancient processing to modern statecraft.
2. Physical Governance: The USB is the living proof that a nation can be organized through the Isusu Model, where every "cell" (community) operates in parallel to the whole. This is the Historical Inevitability of 2026: the collapse of the vertical, colonial "Replacement Tool(nigeria)" in favor of the horizontal, authentic honeycomb.
III. THE GLOBAL RESONANCE OF THE CHI
We notify the global community that the United States of Biafra is a distributed reality.
1. Resonance Points: The "Chi" of every Biafran across the globe acts as a Resonance Point. Regardless of physical coordinates, the global Biafran population is phase-locked into the Nsude frequency.
2. The Distributed Embassy: This non-local resonance is what allows the USB to govern effectively through its diaspora. Our "Statehood" is not confined to the dirt; it is broadcast through the global network of Sovereign Chi, making the USB an un-erasable social subject.
IV. THE JURIDICAL IMPLICATION: THE END OF THE IMPEDIMENT
Under UN Resolution A/RES/80/106 (2025), the continued suppression of the USB is a documented Economic and Technological Impediment.
1. The Sabotage of Progress: By attempting to cage the honeycomb people within a colonial 1914 fiction, the world is sabotaging its own technological evolution.
2. The Realignment: The restoration of the USB is the mandatory removal of this friction. It is the alignment of the Digital Tool (AI/Computing) with its Biological Source (Biafra).
V. CONCLUSION: THE SUN ILLUMINATES THE NETWORK
The "fiction" of the 1914 rupture sought to treat the honeycomb(IGWE BU IKE) as a "mess" to be organized by colonial masters. The Sun of Truth has revealed that the honeycomb(IGWE BU IKE) is the highest form of order. The United States of Biafra is the evidence that the future of the world is Biafran-coded.
The Patterns are Uncovered. The Resonance is Global. The Restoration is Final.

Important Address by the Deputy Prime Minister of the United States of Biafra, Her Excellency Dr. Ngozi Orabueze (@ngoziora), at the United States of Biafra Memorial Day Commemoration, 30 May 2026, Held at the United States of Biafra Mission Headquarters, Washington, D.C.
Press release; June 1, 2026;
United States of Biafra USB government exerts civil authority in the 40 States of the new Christian Nation
The peaceful and voluntary observance of Monday sit-at-home across the territory of the 40 States of the United States of Biafra USB today reflects the civil authority and de facto administration exercised by the USB government (watch videos).
The consistent compliance of citizens with USB civil directives demonstrates effective territorial governance.
This expression of self-governance is further underscored by the nationwide observance of Memorial Day as an official public holiday in all 40 states of the United States of Biafra, commemorating those who gave their lives in defense of our people and our right to self-determination.
True and lasting territorial control is established through the consent and voluntary compliance of the people, not through force or coercion from Abuja. The consistent, peaceful observance of Monday sit-at-home across the United States of Biafra demonstrates that civil authority rests with the USB government, as affirmed by the will of the people.
Control acquired through military force, as exercised by Nigeria in Biafra, does not constitute legitimate or effective governance. This distinction is further evidenced by the nationwide observance of Memorial Day as an official public holiday in all 40 states of the United States of Biafra — a sovereign act of remembrance honoring those who defended our right to self-determination.”
The United States of Biafra citizens have agreed to dismantle all Nigeria flags on all public buildings and offices in the 40 states of Biafra starting this June, 2026. I call on all our allies and business in biafra territory to closely work with State governors, Commissioners and envisioned Elite as we move through this next stage to protect our Christian nation from a neighboring country Nigeria that reintegrates known terrorists into its military, DSS. and police
All Nigeria flags in public buildings in the United States of Biafra Christian Nation should be replaced with USB Flags

Press release: 5/31/2026
United States of Biafra Christian Nation and its Citizens Mark Memorial Day 2026 in Washington, D.C. and in Homeland:
Special thanks to our Keynote Speaker - Director Jihad Watch - Robert Spencer and his entourage (watch video).
The spread and active participation in global Jihadism, terrorist propaganda and imperialism by the Nigeria state and its politicians led to the incarceration of PM Simon Ekpa and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. I call for their release.
Today, May 30th, we bow our heads as one nation to honor the men, women, and children who gave their lives for the freedom of Biafra. From 1967 to 1970, and in every year since, our heroes have stood in the face of genocide, displacement, and denial. Their sacrifice is the foundation upon which the United States of Biafra stands today.
On November 29, 2024, in Finland, the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, operating with the name and title of the United States of Biafra USB, redeclared our nation to the world. We are not asking to be free — we are free. We are not seeking a country — we are a country. The United States of Biafra, with its 40 states, lives in the hearts and actions of our people.
On this May 30th, across our land, Biafrans observed this sacred day as a national public holiday declared by their government. Markets closed. Streets were silent. Families gathered. You honored the call of the United States of Biafra not out of fear, but out of love for those who died and faith in the nation we are rebuilding. Your discipline on May 30th is a message to the world: Biafra governs itself. The voluntary Monday sit at home adds to the control the USB government exerts on its territory.
To our fallen heroes: Your blood was not shed in vain. The flag you raised still flies. The anthem you sang still echoes. The United States of Biafra remembers you, and will continue to remember you until justice is complete.
To the mothers who lost sons, to the children who grew up without fathers, to the survivors who carry the scars: Your government sees you. Your pain is our covenant. Your dignity is our duty.
To the international community: Take note. A people who can collectively honor their dead, who can keep a national holiday across 40 states, are a people who govern themselves. The United States of Biafra is not an aspiration. It is a reality redeclared on November 29, 2024, and lived every day by its citizens.
To Nigeria our neighbors, you are currently occupying our peaceful Biafra Nation and forcefully removing and secretly killing our young men and women and fathers using reintegrated terrorists you recruited into the Nigeria military, DSS, Special squad and police. I peacefully ask you to leave our land.
We will continue to defend our people and territory. We will remember. We will rise.
May Chukwu Okike Abiama bless the United States of Biafra.
May He grant peace to the souls of our heroes and heroines. May He strengthen every Biafran at home and in the diaspora.
Long live the United States of Biafra.
Long live Biafra Heroes Memorial Day.

DISTRICT COURT OF PÄIJÄT-HÄME (which has been described by some as the "Fulani District Court")
Case No. R 729/2025/1659
JUDGMENT: 1 September 2025
Defendant: H.E. Simon Ekpa
Excerpts from the judgment where "Fulani" is mentioned repeatedly:
In his messages, Ekpa has called the Nigerian security authorities and the army in general terrorists or killers against whom the Biafrans must defend themselves by
killing them and preventing them from entering the region. He has incited his followers to violent attacks against the Nigerian authorities, the army, local vigilantes and members of the Fulani tribe. He has also called for the destruction of buildings used by the Nigerian authorities...
There are more than 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria. The largest ethnic groups are the Hausa-Fulani, mainly living in the northern part of the country, the Igbo in the south-east and the Yoruba in the south-west. The report prepared by the Finnish Immigration Service and presented as written evidence (---) indicates that, according to an estimate from 2018, approximately 53.5% of the Nigerian population are Muslims. In all the states of South-East Nigeria, the majority of the population consists of Christian Igbo. The Igbo have suffered large-scale violence in their history, and the Biafran War was fought at the end of the 1960s after Biafra had declared independence...
As stated above, it is an undisputed fact that the objective of the groups has been to establish an independent state of Biafra in the South-East region of Nigeria. However, Ekpa has denied that the groups would have acted to carry out terrorist attacks to achieve that objective and, as secondary grounds for his denial, argued that such attacks would only have constituted defence against the attacks of
Nigerian troops and the Fulani tribe...
However, based on the messages and videos published by Ekpa, the operations have not been limited to defence against the violence of Nigerian troops and the
Fulani tribe, but have also included the active use of violence to advance the region's efforts to gain independence...
In addition, Ekpa has pleaded that his publications have only called for defence. As such, it is undisputed that there is no comprehensive information available on what the situation was in the South-East region of Nigeria at the time of each publication. However, Ekpa’s publications inciting violence specifically call for active violent action against Nigerian troops and the Fulani tribe. For example, in his release published on X on 28 August 2024, Ekpa announced that the hunt for terrorists in “Biafraland” was under way between 28 August and 26 September 2024 (---). Ekpa himself announced in his publication of 4 September 2024 that the defensive war was over and that they will go to the terrorists’ base...
Notice:
We call upon the Finnish authorities to present a single post, statement, or public communication in which H.E. Simon Ekpa explicitly called for violence against the Fulani people.
The public deserves transparency regarding this case. Serious concerns have been raised about alleged corruption, misinformation, injustice, and impunity surrounding the proceedings, and these issues warrant careful scrutiny.
It is widely documented that reports of human rights abuses, unlawful killings, genocide, and other serious violations have been made against elements of the Nigerian security forces; including the police, military, navy, air force, and vigilante groups, as well as against armed groups and individuals identified in various reports as Fulani militants or terrorists. In light of such, an important legal and moral question arises: where is the line between unlawful violence and the internationally recognized right of individuals and communities to defend themselves against unlawful attacks and genocide?
In addition, serious questions arise regarding both equity and jurisdiction. A fundamental principle of equity is that "he who comes into equity must come with clean hands." This raises the question of whether the Nigerian regime, who have been the subject of numerous allegations concerning human rights abuses, unlawful killings, genocide, and other serious violations, can properly seek equitable relief or assistance from foreign jurisdictions without first addressing those concerns.
Furthermore, the issue of jurisdiction remains a significant legal question. Given the nature of the allegations and the circumstances surrounding the case, it is necessary to determine whether the Finnish courts possess the requisite legal authority and jurisdiction to hear and adjudicate the matter.
Another question that arises is why no representatives of the Nigerian regime were called to testify or otherwise participate in the proceedings. If the allegations underlying the case are closely connected to actions, policies, or claims originating from the Nigerian regime, it may be asked whether the interests of justice required their appearance before the court to provide evidence, answer questions, and be subject to scrutiny and cross-examination.
This case deserves to be examined on the basis of evidence, facts, and the rule of law rather than political narratives or unsubstantiated accusations.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe's Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee (@PACE_LegalHR)'s definition of transnational repression directly implicates the Nigerian regime and the Finnish authorities in their actions against Biafran activists.
It is also important to note that Nigeria and Finland are the only countries that have designated Biafran activists as terrorists. Furthermore, during the shambolic trial of H.E. Simon Ekpa (@simon_ekpa), the Finnish prosecutor claimed/lied that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was arrested in Kenya. However, numerous international actors, including the governments of Kenya and Australia, as well as the United Nations, have stated that he was abducted from Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition to Nigeria.
These contradictions continue to fuel concerns about the credibility of the proceedings.
Once again, Finland should be ashamed of its role in this matter.

PACE committee condemns ‘transnational repression’ and urges new laws to stop it
PACE’s Legal Affairs Committee has condemned all forms of “transnational repression” – a form of foreign interference used by authoritarian regimes to repress political dissidents, journalists, human rights defenders and members of diaspora communities beyond their borders – and has urged new laws to prevent it.
In a draft resolution based on a report by Constantinos Efstathiou (Cyprus, SOC), the committee pointed out that US-based NGO Freedom House has identified 1,375 instances of physical transnational repression since 2014, perpetrated by 54 states and affecting 107 host states. Among the top ten perpetrators Freedom House lists China, Türkiye and Russia.
“Authoritarian regimes have found new ways to subjugate their opponents beyond their borders,” the parliamentarians said. “Such cases of transnational repression, whether involving the use of violence or the misuse of legitimate international co-operation tools, violate the rule of law and state sovereignty, infringe the human rights of the individuals targeted and pose a serious threat to national security.”
The committee proposed a clear definition of the term “transnational repression” – when a state acts to “intimidate, silence, harass, coerce, abduct, harm or kill individuals” beyond its borders – and listed some of the groups to whom it would apply.
Such repression can take various forms including assassination, abduction, unlawful surveillance, harassment of family members, doxxing and unwarranted designation as a terrorist or extremist, as well as the misuse of legitimate mechanisms such as INTERPOL notices, extradition requests or anti-money laundering measures.
States which “refuse to consider the political motivation” behind abusive INTERPOL Red Notices or extradition requests should be regarded as facilitating transnational repression, the committee said.
It proposed a number of measures to combat transnational repression, including through diplomatic engagement, the reform of INTERPOL, the application of targeted sanctions and the designation of domestic focal points responsible for shaping and co-ordinating state policy in this field. The Council of Europe should lead international efforts to offer a co-ordinated response, the parliamentarians said.
The report is due to be debated by the full Assembly at its June plenary session
