Mesirah (or mesira, lit. 'to hand over') is the action in which one Jew reports the conduct of another Jew to a non-rabbinic authority in a manner and under the circumstances forbidden by rabbinic law. In any case, "excessive" punishment by non-Jews may be permissible if a precept of the Torah has been violated.
