Oppression
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of existing victim-protection measures for individuals targeted by transnational repression.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Government takes the safety of individuals who may be at risk of transnational repression (TNR) extremely seriously, and support is always threat‑led and tailored to the specific circumstances of each case. It would not be appropriate to comment on individual security arrangements, but the UK acts swiftly when risks are identified.
The Government has published practical guidance on GOV.UK for those who believe they may be at risk, offering advice on physical and online safety, signposting reporting routes, and linking to wider protective security resources, including NCSC and NPSA materials.
The Government continues to work with partners, including law enforcement and civil society, to refine its understanding of how TNR presents in practice and to ensure that victim protection measures remain effective, proportionate and responsive to the threat.
Anyone who believes they are a victim of state-directed activity should report incidents or suspicious activity to the police via 101, at a local police station, or 999 in emergencies.
