(LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian judge has overruled an anti-SLAPP motion filed by a pro-abortion TikTok activist who is the subject of a temporary injunction for sabotaging the pro-life work of 40 Days for Life.
On September 30, a Toronto court ruled against an anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) motion filed by Brooke Dietrich in May. The motion was meant to combat a temporary injunction in March when she was told to cease her online sabotage and defamation efforts against 40 Days for Life.
“I find there is credible evidence that 40 Days has suffered some harm as a result of the impugned TikTok videos and the related campaigns undertaken by the Defendants,” the judge ruled Friday. “I am satisfied that 40 Days has put forward evidence to support the relevant causal link between the harm suffered and the expression underlying its action.”
In March, 40 Days for Life won a temporary injunction against Dietrich. This injunction ordered her to cease her attempts to sabotage 40 Day’s for Life’s mission through videos she posted on TikTok. The court labeled Dietrich’s videos as “sabotage,” “attempted sabotage,” “interference,” and “harassment.”
