Thank you so much for your question.
What we hear from human rights defenders is that they need that protection quickly when they need to leave, but that in itself is not sustainable. A mechanism as we recommended would also look at what supports are in place when those human rights defenders are part of, in the case of Iran for example, the diaspora. Can they continue doing their human rights defence? Can they continue to be in connection with others doing this work?
If those supports are not in place and that networking is not happening, then those who wanted them silenced and out of the country in the first place almost win. That's really important to take into account.
