Coalition Against SLAPPs in Europe

In the CASE section we need to have an explanation of what CASE is. You can use the following: Coalition Against SLAPPs in Europe CASE is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from across Europe united in recognition of the threat posed to public watchdogs by SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation).

Pursued by wealthy and powerful litigants, SLAPPs are an abuse of the legal system and a threat to democracy. They attempt to intimidate and silence public watchdogs through lengthy and expensive litigation that drains a target’s resources and chills critical voices.

On behalf of journalists, activists, whistle blowers, rights defenders and other watchdogs targeted by these tactics, we work to expose legal harassment and intimidation, protect the rights of those who speak out, and advocate for comprehensive protective measures and reform.
