Explosive book by Luigi Bisignani and paolo madron exposed the politician-journalist surveillance nexus. Marco Cappato's fears have ignited the debate on surveillance, but it's the wiretapping law that's in the hot seat, not just one case – Paola Rosà 👇

Today we concluded the 4th & last meeting of MSI-SLP, a Council of Europe committee tasked to draft the first ever CoE Anti-SLAPP recommendation. I have had the honour to be one of the co-rapporteurs/drafters with one of Europe's best media freedom and FoX expert Tarlach McGonagle
SLAPP suits against journalists in Europe are on the rise. We spoke with @FluturaKusari of European Centre for Press and Media Freedom about this troubling trend and what support is available for reporters targeted with abusive litigation intended to censor reporting.

Thank you Parcival Weijnen for speaking at our #Uncovered conference last week. Your testimony was very touching & a reminder of how important it is for the EU to come up with strong Anti-Slapp directive to protect journalists from meritless claims.
📸 Rapoorteur Tarlach McGonagle and co-raporteur Flutura Kusari are in #Strasbourg at the final meeting of MSI-SLP, a committee tasked to draft the CoE Anti-SLAPP reccomendation. We know from the cases that we support how important this recommendation will be to protect journalists.
We demand the immediate release of Evan Gershkovich.
