What grounds can I use to challenge an Interpol Red Notice issued by an authoritarian country?

Article 3 of Interpol’s Constitution prohibits notices of a political, military, religious, or racial character. Successful challenges typically demonstrate that the requesting state is targeting political dissidents, journalists, or business rivals using fabricated criminal charges. Evidence may include asylum grants, country condition reports from the UN or Foreign Office, timing linked to political events, or procedural deficiencies in the underlying prosecution. The Commission for the Control of Files assesses whether the notice complies with Interpol rules—deletion rates for notices from certain jurisdictions exceed 40% when properly evidenced challenges are submitted.
