Das neue Jahr startet für uns mit der Aussicht auf einen weiteren Gerichtstermin: Bereits in wenigen Wochen müssen wir erneut nach Italien reisen, um uns wegen unserer Kritik am hohen Pestizideinsatz im Südtiroler Apfelanbau vor dem Landesgericht Bozen zu verteidigen.Mittlerweile beschäftigt uns der sogenannte Pestizidprozess damit nun im vierten Jahr.Doch wir sind nur ein Beispiel für eine von vielen Organisationen, die von einer SLAPP-Klage betroffen sind.Europaweit werden jedes Jahr hunderte Menschen vor Gericht gezerrt, weil sie im Interesse der Öffentlichkeit auf Missstände aufmerksam gemacht haben.
