PETALING JAYA: Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown fears she will be arrested on behalf of the Malaysian government if she travels to Spain on Monday to care for her elderly father.
Rewcastle-Brown, former British prime minister Gordon Brown’s sister-in-law, claims that she is at risk of being jailed for exposing corruption in Malaysia, with her supporters criticising Interpol for failing to guarantee her freedom.
She told The Telegraph in London that she has not sought to enlist her brother-in-law’s help because she does “not want to worry” him.
The report said Spain has become a favourite target in recent years for authoritarian regimes seeking to use Interpol’s Red Notice system to snare political opponents.
In 2018, Bill Browder, the prominent Kremlin critic, was detained by Spanish police on an international arrest warrant that Russia had requested through Interpol.
