SLAPP Censorship - Part 129 Out of 200: Iranian Tactics

Lion and Sword - historical national flag

From Amnesty International about Iran:

In all the cases documented by Amnesty, victims reported various forms of psychological torture to give forced “confessions”, including the use of degrading verbal insults; threats to arrest, torture, kill or otherwise harm their family members, including elderly parents or spouses; and threats to rape detainees or their female family members.

Almost every time Garrett travels to the UK (he has lived in the US since 2009) he publicly boasts that he didn't get arrested at the border. This time, after I received death threats that bear his name (even in the subject line), he's very quiet about flying here.

5 months ago Garrett - via his hired guns - sent my wife a large (1,000+ pages) bundle of papers, twice even. He wants my wife to be put in prison. Only 3 months earlier the judge in charge of media (in the UK's High Court) acknowledged that my wife 1) had been abused online; 2) did not deserve this abuse and 3) did nothing to invite this abuse.

The determination of the judge was clear; we did not put in sufficient evidence to blame the abuse on Garrett. Hence, Garrett was defamed.

Some time soon we'll show that Garrett was in fact speaking to (in private) to people who abused my wife and committed cybercrimes against her. Later they issued threats to our webhost again. The woman who handled those threats to our webhost left her job some months ago. This enables us to speak more openly about what happened the same month Garrett was conniving with a Microsofter after we had sued him in September 2024 [1, 2].

As I explained to the judge at the time (we were self-represented due to severe budget constraints), Garrett had collaborated with a strangler from Microsoft to drain out our legal fund; Garrett even admitted that they had collaborated when I cross-examined him (this was - inter alia - an admission they had lied to several judges, via their fall guy who fronts for the Director and is technically just his assistant, based on the SRA).

If Garrett fails to put my wife in prison, we'll have something to remind people of... every year for the next decade or longer. It's like the EPO in 2015. Hunger for revenge compels people to do overzealous, irrational things.
