Reviewers & writers, my legal/political thriller is on NetGalley if you’d like a peek. A lawyer and an adviser to the Home Sec investigate case that takes them to the heart of a scandal involving misogyny, corruption and abuse of power.

This is real. I just received a private phone call from a far-right thug, telling me they know where I work and that they will kill me because I’m what’s wrong with this country.

I’m a former refugee who is now an immigration practitioner.

I will not be intimidated!!!

[Anna Mazzola @Anna_Mazz_Law]

Delighted to see this.

[Victims’ Commissioner for London @LDNVictimsComm]

This is an excellent appointment. @jessphillips has worked tirelessly to tackle violence against women and girls and has been one of the strongest advocates for family court reform. Great to have her in this role.

It's estimated that 186,000 have now been killed in Gaza. The remainder have nowhere to shelter. The world is watching it happen. #CeasefireNow

[Anna Mazzola @Anna_Mazz_Law]

Delighted that Ella got this judgement, but she should never have had to fight in the civil courts to get some accountability for a serious sexual crime. No survivor should. @centreWJ

[Leigh Day @LeighDay_Law]

A judge ruled there was “no doubt” that Ella Janneh's account of rape and sexual assault by sex therapist Mike Lousada was true and awarded her over £200,000 in damages. Ella is represented by @catrubens

Today's the final day of submissions in brave Ella Jennah's legal case against the therapist who was supposed to help her, but instead abused her.

Thank you to @LeighDay_Law for bringing this important challenge after CPS failed to prosecute.

Solidarity Ella.✊🏾

I came from Parliament to show my support to Ella Janneh at the Royal Courts of Justice today.

@Sistah_Space and @kelechi amazing solidarity.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

"In over 30 years of studying and engaging with communities affected by displacement, I have never seen a shocking atrocity like this."
Me neither.

Shocking atrocity televised, day after day, rationalised and condoned by most western countries, and tolerated by most of the rest.

What a shameful low we have reached. May the Palestinians forgive us for our ridiculous, pathetic inability to enforce Humanity and the Law supposed to protect it.

[Centre for Women's Justice @centreWJ]

The formidable @HWistrich will be at #BathFest24 on 19th May speaking to fellow lawyer and author @Anna_Mazz

Incredible bravery and tenacity from Ella in pursuing this case, and brilliant legal work from Cat Rubens and team. This was a case I referred from @centreWJ years ago when I was astounded the CPS had failed to prosecute.

[Leigh Day @LeighDay_Law]

The BBC reports on child sexual abuse survivor Ella Janneh's civil legal claim against a sex therapist for alleged sexual assault and rape. Leigh Day's @catrubens represents

Today the ICJ decided that the deterioration of the "catastrophic living conditions" in Gaza since January 26, esp starvation, created a further real & imminent risk of genocide justifying the indication of additional provisional measures against Israel.🧵 https://t.co/JW7tCZy5gX

[Anna Mazzola @Anna_Mazz_Law]

The offence of non-fatal strangulation was brought in because it happens so often and can have such severe consequences. This is a strange move by the supposedly 'right on' Snag Tights. @centreWJ

[We Can't Consent To This @Wecantconsentto]

@skytv @HBO Astonishingly, tights shop Snag is selling "Choke Me" badges to its mostly female customer base.

(Not sure young women get a free "choice" given the range of corporate pressure to celebrate and embrace their strangulation)

[Nicola Perugini @PeruginiNic]

Israel’s destruction of the health sector in Gaza as part of its ethnic cleansing/elimination efforts. 22% of the hospitals partially functioning. No oxygen, electricity, water, supplies. Increasing infections. Disease surveillance disrupted (@WHO Dec 14) https://t.co/1sS5Ajh33w

[Anna Mazzola @Anna_Mazz_Law]

Defensive, in denial and deeply discriminatory. Failing women and children.

Not since Macpherson’s 1999 report have the Met Police been slammed like this for systemic flaws. Radical shakeup is needed. #CaseyReport

So pleased I can now talk about this! Delighted to be working with @Charlo_Murs and @Leodora_ on a new venture: legal thrillers, the first of which deals with corruption at the heart of Westminster. Thank you to @mushenska for doing her usual magic 🧙‍♀️

The list of police forces in special measures. The concerns re Cleveland are particularly concerning, including failures towards vulnerable people. https://t.co/Fh9oLU4ANS

The Met have charged this woman - plus 3 other protesters at the Sarah Everard vigil - with breaching covid regs. How are they this dumb?

[Anna Mazzola @Anna_Mazz_Law]

My colleagues have launched a legal case against MI5 in relation to their recruitment and handling of a man who was known to abuse women.

"Whilst the Government claims to be committed to tackling VAWG, it is at the same time apparently complicit in a cover up of misogynist and violent activities of state agents. "
