From page 150:

Strangling girlfriends is a lot like using lawyers to censor volunteers.

Genuine allegations against Mr Graveley.

Today is the last day for input on the EU's consultation concerning Free software. Daniel Pocock too decided to make a submission:

I am an open source survivor. I have attached a copy of the claim and evidence bundle filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. Federal court case no. 1:25-CV-03883-UA, FSFE and Debian group behaviour, harassment, abuse problems. I've also attached some cover notes that attempt to address the questions raised by the EU consultation at hand

The PDF there contains a case that he filed in the US.

From page 152:

1 July 2022, Dr Roy Schestowitz publishes a report stating that Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley has entered a guilty plea

From page 168:

Balabhadra Graveley vs Roy Schestowitz of Techrights

From page 179:

Dr Roy Schestowitz of Techrights sued in UK High Court for publishing US court

From page 182:

Techrights authors claim harassment by Debian co-author Matthew J . Garrett

There are 386 pages in total (in the US claim).

To be very clear, we had nothing whatsoever to do with preparation of this claim, we are only observing what it is.

Update/clarification: To avoid a lack of clarity, the criminal complaints (alluded to above) were made mostly in 2023, but further ones were made in 2024. In 2026 we began receiving death threats connected to the same circle and reported this to the police.
