In a revealing podcast episode, The Irish Times investigates China’s global surveillance, with firsthand accounts from Uyghur residents in Ireland.
We were honored to participate in a recent episode of The Irish Times‘ podcast, In The News, which investigates the far-reaching tactics used by the Chinese government to surveil and intimidate its citizens abroad including here in Ireland.
The episode includes testimonies from members of the Irish Uyghur Cultural Association, who courageously shared how they are monitored online and offline, even after seeking asylum in what should be a place of safety.
“We left our homeland hoping for freedom. But the fear followed us,” one interviewee confides.
This in-depth report uncovers the sophisticated digital surveillance networks, the fear of retribution against family members back home, and the psychological toll of living under a global shadow.
The podcast also features experts on cyber surveillance and international law, providing broader context on how state repression transcends borders and how Ireland is being called upon to act.
