Authorities in both democracies and autocracies have collaborated with perpetrator states to detain, deport, or extradite targeted dissidents.

Detention is the most common tactic of direct, physical #transnationalrepression, accounting for 503 cases (41%) in our database.

The ongoing pattern of arbitrary detention, incarceration, and the use of the death penalty against activists, religious and ethnic minorities, and human rights defenders in Iran is of grave concern.
