The Government takes the protection of individuals’ rights, freedoms, and safety very seriously.

A range of support and security assistance mechanisms have been developed to protect individuals that are at risk of transnational repression. This assistance is based on threat and varied in its scope and approach, but can include tailored protective security advice, cybersecurity measures, and access to broader public resources. Practical guidance is available on GOV.UK for individuals who believe they may be at risk of TNR, providing clear advice on both physical and online safety and how to report concerns.

Anyone who thinks they might be a victim of transnational repression should report incidents or suspicious activity to the Police via 101, at a local police station, or 999 in emergencies.
