The Government carefully considered the recommendations of the Joint Committee on Human Rights’ report on transnational repression (TNR) and responded formally on 30 October 2025.

We continue to engage with international partners, victims and civil society organisations to build a fuller picture of how transnational repression manifests in the UK and to ensure our response is grounded in lived experience and real-world threat patterns.

We recently updated GOV.UK guidance on TNR. Alongside this the National Security Protective Authority launched guidance on 8 May. These documents provide practical advice for individuals who believe they may be at risk of TNR, including steps to help keep them safe both physically and online.

The Government will continue to keep its approach under review to ensure it remains robust, proportionate and responsive to the evolving threat.
