9/30/2024 – Egyptian Human Rights Forum's report documents how Egyptian authorities have engaged in systematic transnational repression against Egyptian human rights defenders living abroad, including those in countries with strong legal protections. The report is based on a series of interviews with activists who left Egypt between 2017 and 2020, and now reside in the EU, US, Qatar, and Turkey. 

Repression tactics include judicial and legal harassment, deprivation of consular services and and identification documents, digital and physical surveillance, and intimidation of relatives remaining in Egypt.
