澳大利亚居民萨尔曼·沙比尔因在社交媒体上批评巴基斯坦政治，其在巴基斯坦的兄弟于2024年3月15日凌晨被军方人员强行带走1。绑匪通过多通电话胁迫沙比尔停止在X平台发布关于巴基斯坦政治的内容，并要求其交出账户密码，威胁若不从命将继续扣押其兄弟1。沙比尔的兄弟在被扣押约一天后获释1。
沙比尔曾发起一份请愿书，获得超过3000个签名，针对欧盟机构指控对前总理伊姆兰·汗的虐待1。这一事件暴露了跨境压制问题——政府或其代理人通过威胁海外批评者的亲属来进行跨国压制1。
澳大利亚已加入超过45个国家的声明，在2024年6月联合国人权理事会第56届会议上谴责跨境压制1。澳大利亚国家安全立法独立监督员在7月完成审查后认定，跨境压制是"非常严重且日益增长的问题"1。为应对这一威胁，澳大利亚政府在5月推出反外国干涉社区支持中心，提供23种以上语言的在线资源1。
Australia-based resident Salman Shabir faced a chilling form of transnational repression after criticizing Pakistani politics on social media. 1 In the early hours of March 15, 2024, armed personnel forcibly took away Shabir's brother in Pakistan. 1 The abductors then contacted Shabir through multiple phone calls, threatening him to cease posting about Pakistani political matters on the X platform and demanding he surrender his account passwords, warning they would continue detaining his brother if he refused to comply. 1 After approximately one day in custody, Shabir's brother was released. 1
Shabir had organized petition efforts that garnered over 3,000 signatures addressed to European Union institutions, accusing authorities of abuse against former Prime Minister Imran Khan. 1 The incident exemplifies a growing global pattern in which governments or their agents suppress overseas critics by threatening their relatives. 1 In response to mounting concerns about such practices, Australia joined more than 45 other countries in issuing a joint statement condemning transnational repression at the UN Human Rights Council's 56th session in June 2024. 1 Australia's independent national security legislation monitor completed a review in July, determining that transnational repression represents "a very serious and growing problem." 1 The Australian government launched a community support center in May 2024 to counter foreign interference, offering online resources in more than 23 languages. 1
