A group of more than 70 newspaper editors, lawyers, and publishers has written a letter to Justice Secretary Dominic Raab, calling on him to “move swiftly” to stop wealthy individuals from muzzling the British media with strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs).

The letter calls on Raab to “make good” on a commitment the Ministry of Justice made earlier this year to “stamp out” SLAPPs.
