How authoritarian governments silence critics abroad
Institute of Arab & Islamic Studies: Stocker Road, Exeter EX4 4ND, United Kingdom

Join Index on Censorship at the University of Exeter for an evening discussing the growing - and worrying - trend of transnational repression. Transnational repression takes many forms: from UK residents being poisoned by Russian agents, to a Saudi dissident being murdered in Turkey, to a Polish art gallery being subject to attempted acts of censorship by Chinese diplomats, to UK-based BBC Persian journalists being threatened and harassed by Iranian authorities.

John Heathershaw, Professor of International Relations at the University of Exeter, and Belarusian poet Hanna Komar join Index’s magazine Editor-in-chief, Jemimah Steinfeld, for a discussion about the extent and impact of states silencing their critics abroad and the fundamental right to free expression.

This event celebrates the launch of Index’s latest magazine. Free copies available.
