A report released on Monday, September 21, before the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva reveals that Russia, under Vladimir Putin, is conducting transnational repression against its opponents.
While domestic repression has long been established, the Kremlin has extended its systematic and institutionalized terror strategy abroad, notably in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Europe.
This policy has accelerated since the invasion of Ukraine, according to a UN expert who presented these findings.
