Safeguard Defenders is a not-for profit human rights organization which monitors disappearances in China. It was co-founded by Michael Caster and Peter Dahlin.[1][2][3] Founded in June 2019 in Madrid, Spain, it operates as a private foundation.[4]
In 2009, activists Peter Dahlin and Michael Caster, from Sweden and the United States respectively, founded China Action, an NGO with a mission of promoting human rights in China.[5] After some years of low profile activity, the foundation was re-established in Madrid under the name Safeguard Defenders, with a wider scope of work spanning across Asia while being specialized in documenting and combatting transnational repression by China.[6]
In October 2022, Safeguard Defenders published a report on China's Ministry of Public Security's clandestine police stations around the world.[7][8]
In November 2022, NewsGuard reported that a pro-Chinese government disinformation campaign on Twitter had been launched against it.[9]
