How are UK universities' training programs for foreign security forces contributing to human rights abuses globally?

Freedom from Torture's investigation reveals UK universities offer postgraduate security and counterterrorism training to foreign security forces, some from repressive regimes, without adequately scrutinizing human rights records. This raises concerns about the potential misuse of British expertise in silencing, surveilling, or torturing individuals. Universities are not only overlooking human rights abuses but may be training the abusers themselves.
