As the Egyptian diaspora grew following the 2011 uprising and 2013 military coup to include larger numbers of Muslim Brotherhood members and liberal activists, the Egyptian government increasingly turned to transnational repression to instill fear in its nationals abroad, including threats, punishment, surveillance, and by arresting or detaining individuals who decide to return home. In addition to these overt methods, I suggest in this chapter that Egypt’s use of transnational repression can also be less direct and more ambiguous, leaving diaspora members uncertain of how to act and, in some cases, preventing their return to Egypt out of fear. Coupled together, these direct and indirect methods have made Egypt a critical case study to understand the strategies by which lower-state capacity countries attempt to control and repress their diaspora from afar. This chapter draws on an analysis of reports from human rights organizations, journalistic accounts, as well as interviews to assess the impact that different forms of transnational repression have for Egyptian nationals and the country as a whole. It also argues that Egypt’s unfettered use of repression toward its domestic and diaspora populations will likely continue so long as foreign investors and partner countries refrain from adequately critiquing its actions.
