If the red notice issued by Turkmenistan had no legs then Turkmenistan should be sanctioned for such shit behavior.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

MODERATORS
Russia and their client states have been abusing interpol warrants for at least ten years, targeting political dissidents and regime foes, and europe still entertains them as valid on their face.
Why is a country like Turkmenistan able to issue arrest warrants by Interpol that lead to arrests in other countries? That is truly dystopian. Imagine the US issuing your arrest and every European country will try to enforce it.
Authoritarian regimes have been abusing Interpol's Red Notice system for a long time. In one of their articles, the Red Notice Monitor analyses that Interpol Has a China Problem: How the People’s Republic of China Exploits International Mechanisms
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has weaponized international law enforcement mechanisms, particularly INTERPOL, to target political dissidents, human rights defenders, and critics of its regime. This strategy represents a profound and systemic threat to international law enforcement. The exploitation is emblematic of China’s broader strategy of transnational repression – sophisticated, far-reaching, and deeply troubling.
[Edit typo.]
The same way they've done to Assange?
Does pussy riot have time to play shows between arrests?
Russia does this to journalists. I met a person that was regularly held in custody because of these red notices. Fuck this bullshit. Let her go.
Yes, and it's not only Russia. All authoritarian governments are doing this.
not cool, Poland. these girls can't catch a break
Everyone trusts the wrong people, including apparently poland's security services trusting their arch foe Russia's machinated warrants against their dissidents.
This is not a new thing, over 10 years russia has been putting out interpol warrants on their dissidents and many many countries entertain them even if they do not follow through on extradition.
People trust security services and authorities way more than they should across the board.
Red notice by proxy.
2002? Must have been real young to be embezzling from the main bank.
