Dear John,
On the eve of his final day as president of Freedom House, Michael Abramowitz shares reflections from his seven-and-a-half years with the organization—and offers hope amid a global democratic recession.
“My most enduring memories of Freedom House will almost certainly be of the human rights defenders and democracy advocates whom I have met,” Abramowitz writes. “You can find them working in every corner of the globe, insisting on their rights even in the most repressive places. Their optimism commands our deep respect—and support.
“Today is a perilous moment for the cause of freedom. But I remain profoundly optimistic that the incredible activists, defenders, and others Freedom House supports and works with around the world will ultimately prevail.”

US officials said the Iranian and Indian governments had used similar tactics to advance assassination plots in the United States. These reports reflect a worrying trend of criminal groups acting as middlemen for transnational repression.
