## Resource

Two Romanian nationals face prison for a brutal stabbing of an Iran International journalist—accused of carrying out a state-sponsored hit on behalf of Iran. Fleeing the UK, they were extradited thanks to international cooperation. One got 12 years for knowing the attack’s political motive; the other, 8 years for ignorance. The case underscores how foreign powers use proxies to silence dissent—and that UK authorities won’t tolerate it.
