How new ‘transnational repression’ measures could affect the lives of Russians in Europe
On June 16, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on countering “transnational repression” targeting journalists, human rights defenders, and activists in exile. Lawmakers named Russia as one of the main perpetrators and called for shielding political exiles from frozen bank accounts, denial of consular services, and passport revocations. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a similar resolution on June 25, with input from the platform for dialogue with Russian Democratic Forces. Meduza explains how these measures could affect the lives of Russians in Europe.
