After repeated private démarches failed to halt actions that threatened operational continuity, research collaboration, and my recognized rights, a coordinated public and diplomatic protest became necessary to establish accountability and deter harmful precedents. Publicly articulating evidence-based concerns increases transparency and mobilizes supportive stakeholders, while simultaneous diplomatic engagement preserves dialogue channels and offers de-escalation pathways. This approach protects critical infrastructure and scientific exchange without resorting to technical disruption or economic coercion, aligning with international norms. I calibrated message, timing, and audience to be proportionate, verifiable, and rights-affirming, minimizing collateral risk while maximizing the chance of corrective action.
