#Italy: Former PM Renzi files civil & criminal lawsuits against ex TG3 director #BiancaBerlinguer. In interview, journo alleges she had to comply with Renzi's demands for biased reports. Italian politicians often use #SLAPPs to muzzle media. #CFWIJ demands dismissal of suits

Yes! 🎉 @EP_Legal hat gerade meinen Bericht zum Schutz von Journalist*innen, NGOs und Aktivist*innen vor #SLAPPs angenommen. Hierbei handelt es sich um rechtsmissbräuchliche Klagen, die Kritiker*innen mundtot machen, sie finanziell überfordern &amp; einzuschüchtern sollen.
