Leaked warrants show Turkmenistan's extraterritorial crackdown on dissidents

A leaked list of arrest warrants reveals Turkmenistan's systematic use of its legal system to target dissidents living abroad, extending its repression beyond its borders. The leak exposes the regime's extraterritorial reach, though the authenticity and full scope of the list remain unverified. This matters as it signals an escalation in state repression tactics against exiled opposition, potentially deterring dissent and affecting international legal cooperation.
