Reporters Without Borders considers “The case brought by the prime minister against Roy Ngerng is nothing but a diversionary tactic and a deterrent,” “Ngerng is also a victim of a particular legal device known as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP). It is designed in the first place to deny the blogger the ability to publish or the chance to defend himself. Secondly, it is intended to send a deterrent message to all those involved in news and information who might be tempted to publicize, or carry on with, his work.”
