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. Expert panellists John Heathershaw (International Relations at the University of Exeter), Simon Cheng (a Hong Kong exiled pro-democracy activist and a founder of the UK-wide Hong Kong diasporic non-profit organisation, Hongkongers in Britain) and Belarusian poet and activist Hanna Komar will explore the extent and impact of states silencing their critics abroad and the fundamental right to free expression. The event will be chaired by Index on Censorship's editor-in-chief, Jemimah Steinfeld.

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

* Please note: Virtual doors open at 4.30pm in time for the 5pm event start.
