Anti Slapp Coalition

FIBGAR leads the Spanish group of the Coalition Against Slapp Europe (CASE).

For years, CASE has been working to protect the rights of those who are victims of SLAPPs and to advocate for comprehensive protection measures and reforms.

The CASE working group in Spain, led by FIBGAR and comprised of Greenpeace, Xnet, Article 19, and the Federation of Journalists’ Unions -FeSP, is dedicated to sharing information on SLAPPs, monitoring national cases, and encouraging and promoting anti-SLAPP initiatives and ensuring an effective and comprehensive transposition that includes strong safeguards.

SLAPPs, known as gag suits, represent a particular type of judicial harassment that allows powerful actors to misuse the legal and judicial systems in order to silence critical voices – including activists, non-profit organizations, journalists and media – exercising their own fundamental rights, in particular the right to freedom of expression. These forms of abuse often result from the exercise of an act of citizen participation concerning a matter of public interest.
