The March 11 session featured testimonies from pro-democracy activist Chloe Cheung and Hossein Abedini, deputy director of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI<\/a>), alongside legal experts specializing in Interpol abuse.

These international alerts, designed to track down criminals, are often exploited by authoritarian regimes to silence political opponents. The legal experts called for stricter oversight of Interpol\u2019s mechanisms and enhanced protections to prevent politically motivated targeting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1604\">Lord Alton, Chair of the Home Affairs Committee, praised the witnesses\u2019 bravery and stressed the urgency of the issue. \u201cThe threats faced by activists in the UK due to hostile foreign interference are deeply troubling.
