A recent report shows that France, Italy, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Sweden, and Finland want to legalise spying on journalists in the event of a threat to national security.
“Realtid” is being sued by a Swedish businessman and his group of companies for eight articles they published in 2020. Organisations are concerned that this SLAPP appears to be an effort to discredit the journalists and force them to remove their investigative articles.
RSF hopes the complaint leads to a serious criminal investigation that results in the eight officials being prosecuted and convicted for the torture, abduction and enforced disappearance of Isaak.
