China accused of using overseas bases to target dissidents

Laura Hart, campaign director of Safeguard Defenders is interviewed by the Associated Press in Rome, Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022. China has reportedly established dozens of “overseas police stations” in nations around the world that activists fear could be used to track and harass dissidents as part of Beijing’s crackdown on corruption. Spanish-based non-government group Safeguard Defenders published a report last month called “110 Overseas. Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild” that focused on the foreign stations.
