America: Legislators Seek to Counter Cross-Border Repression from China and Iran
The United States has introduced a bill aimed at tightening sanctions on foreign government operatives who threaten individuals on its soil, in response to the ongoing rise of transborder repression by countries like China and Iran. The new law is based on a federal definition of "transborder repression" and increases penalties to up to 10 years in prison for those accused, in an effort to deter operations targeting activists and dissidents outside the reach of U.S. sovereignty. This comes amid numerous cases involving China and Iran related to persecution, espionage, and threats against opposition activities by these countries abroad.
