The CASE

#SLAPPs are used to silence journalists through costly, time-consuming legal pressure. As the Anti-SLAPP Directive deadline passes, ECPMF urges Member States to act now. Weak or partial implementation will not protect public interest journalism. ecpmf.eu/as-deadline-pa…

@wemoveEU The Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR) partners have also renewed their call for an immediate and effective transposition of this Directive into national laws: mfrr.eu/as-deadline-pa…

Public pressure matters. A @wemoveEU petition calling on governments to fully implement the Anti-SLAPP Directive has already gathered more than 57,000 signatures. ✍️ Add yours: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-04-a… #StopSLAPPs

⏰ Today is the deadline for governments to turn the EU’s anti-SLAPP law into real protections on the ground. ⚠️ But progress remains uneven and public watchdogs across Europe are still being targeted with abusive lawsuits designed to silence them. 👉 the-case.eu/latest/eu-anti…

🧑‍⚖️ Many countries report that a major obstacle to stopping SLAPPs is a lack of understanding about these bully lawsuits among the judiciary. Events like these this are a huge step towards removing this barrier 👇 coe.int/en/web/freedom…

⚠️ Across Europe, powerful corporations are using costly lawsuits to silence those who dare to challenge them. The EU has a law to stop these abuses, but governments are dragging their feet. ✍️ Call on governments to stand up for their citizens: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-04-a…
