🚨🇬🇧LAWFARE SILENCING TRUTH IN THE UK

Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) are being used across the UK to block investigations into public interest issues, like…

• Tommy Robinson was sued for his documentary and then subsequently thrown in jail for airing it, in defiance court order.

• Unsafe housing for asylum seekers going unexposed after landlords threatened journalists with lawsuits.

• Alleged corruption in a $500M construction project in Uzbekistan tied to sanctioned individuals—but reporting was blocked by legal threats.

• A grieving sister questioning a shady “wealth creation” course faced legal threats for speaking out about her brother’s death.

The UK is a global hotspot for these abusive lawsuits, with MPs and advocates demanding new laws to protect freedom of speech and public accountability.

Incarceration for contempt of court, even when valid, should not be for such an egregious length of time.

When compared to the many crimes that receive little to no prison time, this cannot be considered fair or just.
