Interpol is involved in passport revocations causing people an inability to travel with passports validly issued to people on passports whose printed expiration date hadn’t taken place at the time the hitherto valid passport was remotely/electronically registered as cancelled by the passport-issuing government.

The passport-issuing authority using a filed notice with Interpol to frustrate the travel of people with validly issued passports in hand does take place, and it takes place by also claiming a passport is not valid for use.

I have seen this go on in intelligence and law enforcement operations and various politically-motivated crackdowns on “dissidents”.

There are lots of countries — even some much poorer countries — that have better incarceration conditions than the incarceration conditions in the US, although some of that may depend on how much money the prisoner or associates of the prisoner want to pay up in a poorer country. This coming week, I’ll be in at least four countries with generally much better incarceration conditions for prisoners than the US. And incarceration conditions are better in various countries that don’t as easily succumb to US pressure by being willing to kiss up to the USG and so let the prisoner get roughed up so as to try to get the prisoner to not oppose being sent to the US.

Governments issuing passports use the Interpol SLTD and Interpol red notice systems to frustrate the travel/migration of their own citizens who were issued valid passports; and they use Interpol systems to sometimes even hassle the relatives — some of whom were literally minors of such young age that they can’t be criminally culpable under any decent system of justice — of the primary targets of the governmental authorities.
