> Shehabi is a victory for U.K. victims of acts of transnational repression. Transnational repression arises when states seek to intimidate, suppress, or silence dissidents, human rights defenders, journalists, or others seeking to challenge state power from abroad. Such behavior is necessarily extraterritorial or cross-border and implicates a range of methods, such as killings, physical intimidation, and surveillance, that occur outside the territory of the perpetrating state.
IANAL, to have opinions on the article's long & detailed legal analysis.
But as briefly hinted above, foreign states are free to decide that hiring lawyers to fight a lawsuit is too slow, uncertain, and expensive. Vs. a hired murderer is quick and cheap.
