Interpol se encuentra en una encrucijada ante el aumento de la represión mundial

Singapore’s close partnership with Interpol – from hosting the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI) to participating in operations like Thunder – makes it a jurisdiction where Interpol Red Notices are taken seriously. If you are subject to a Red Notice in Singapore, or believe you may be, understanding how the system works here is essential.

China is increasingly exploiting Interpol Red Notices as part of a sophisticated campaign of transnational repression, posing a serious risk to individuals and international law enforcement alike. Red Notices are used to locate targets and then apply pressure through threats to family members, asset freezes, surveillance, and coercive “persuasion to return” tactics.

Singapore is central to Interpol’s work in Asia, hosting the IGCI and actively using Red Notices. Interpol Red Notice lawyers explain what this means for individuals facing alerts.
