For years, I have endured unrelenting harassment, stalking, and invasive surveillance — often in the very spaces where I should feel safe: my home, my room, in shared accommodations and even in public bathrooms. Despite filing a formal legal claim and applying for an urgent injunction in court, the abuse has not stopped. In fact, it has intensified.

Most alarming is that the evidence and documents I submitted to the court have mysteriously disappeared — twice. Following each submission, the content appears to be used to mock and intimidate me through coordinated public harassment and symbolic gestures.

I now face daily, escalating acts of psychological abuse, mental abuse, financial abuse, including sexual harassment, racial harassment, discriminatory targeting, and threatening messages or hidden death threats through signs, clothing, behaviour from strangers, emails, and more.

Worse still, my access to legal representation appears to have been systematically blocked. Every attempt to secure a solicitor has been sabotaged. Because I have contacted about 200-300 law firms so far, including top human rights solicitors, and no one wants to help me. Something just does not seem right, and it’s undemocratic.

They would also intimidate me to death every time I try to seek help from a lawyer. Especially when I go see them in person. I have not visited any solicitors since in fear for my safety, especially of being shot. This is not right!

Consequently, I have no one to protect my rights, my privacy, or my safety, including protecting me from discrimination and injustice. I am alone in this fight — legally, emotionally, and physically — while being severely harassed both racially and sexually, intimidated and illegally monitored around the clock – both online and offline – amounting to a premeditated hate crime and a violence against women.

Having legal representation is crucial because it ensures a fair legal process, protects yout rights, and helps navigate complex legal situations.

Lawyers can interpret the law, provide expert guidance, and represent you effectively in court, potentially leading to better outcomes and reducing stress.

A more detailed look at the importance:

1. Fair Trial and Protection of Rights: 

• Everyone is entitled to legal representation in court, which ensures a fair trial. 
• Legal representation acts as a safeguard against potential abuses of power and ensures your rights are upheld. 
• Lawyers can navigate the complexities of legal proceedings, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations.

2. Expert Guidance and Navigation of Legal Processes:

• Lawyers can help you understand the intricacies of the law and how it applies to your specific situation.
• They can provide expert advice on navigating complex legal processes and make sure you don’t make decisions that could harm your case. 
• They can also help you identify potential issues and strategies to protect your interests.

 3. Negotiation and Conflict Resolution:

• Lawyers can negotiate on your behalf and help you reach a resolution without resorting to lengthy court battles.
• They can also help mediate disputes and find solutions that are mutually agreeable

Thus, being refused legal aid/representation would infringe:

• My rights under the European Convention on Human Rights
• My retained EU rights to legal representation

Therefore, I cannot stay silent any longer when my human rights are at risk. Especially Article 3 (Freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment), the torture I have to go through each day is very severe in my case – hence, I urgently need a solicitor to help me stop this, Article 6 (Right to a fair trial), Article 8 (Respect for your private and family life), this one is also crucial when my privacy is being severely violated in every way possible, Article 10 (Freedom of expression) and Article 14 (Protection from discrimination) under the Human Rights Act 1998.

My life is also at risk due to the relentless campaigns of racial & sexual harassment and intimidation against me, which escalate day by day, causing me severe emotional distress, stress, anxiety and exhaustion. It’s like public lynching.

I also have to do everything myself from gathering evidence, drafting legal documents, filing court papers and so on. It’s overwhelming when I don’t have a solicitor to help me with all of this and to give me legal advice, or represent me, causing me additional stress and frustration. This has consumed all of my time and energy, unable to do anything else.

This is no longer just about justice for me — it is about exposing deliberate obstruction of justice and survival. Because I am too distressed by now to even function. Completely isolated. No help and support left. I cannot go anywhere either without being surveilled, intimidated, racially and sexually harassed. It’s too much!

In light of these events, I have no choice but to go public. This blog and the accompanying press release mark the beginning of a campaign for transparency and accountability. I will also contact many organisations, like organisations specialising in women’s rights advocacy and sexual abuse awareness, to ask for help and support. If I managed to get them to help me. Because all my online activities and communications also appear to be illegally monitored to prevent me from seeking help. Because whomever I have emailed or called asking for help seems to have been contacted afterwards and subsequently influenced not to help me. Even my physical posts appear to have been opened or hijacked, as if all my avenues of getting help are being deliberately blocked. It’s a form of coercive control, similar to a coercive control in a relationship, to prevent me from escaping the abuse.

I invoke my legal right to speak out, including:

• • Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR): the right to life — which imposes a duty on the state to protect those at real and immediate risk.

• • Article 10 ECHR: the right to freedom of expression — especially in matters of public interest and imminent harm.

• • Qualified privilege (common law): which protects statements made in good faith to raise awareness of danger, obstruction, or ongoing violations.

Even victims with legal teams often run campaigns for justice. In my case, where I am allegedly being denied access to legal protection and court evidence has gone missing, I must ensure transparency myself. Because if I stay silent, I might not survive. My time is therefore running out.

I believe the public has a right to know. I think this case is a matter of public interest, involving institutional failures, denial of rights, and ongoing violence against women.

If you are a journalist, legal professional, human rights advocate, or simply someone who believes in justice — I invite you to read my story, share it, and help make sure it is not buried.

This is not just my fight — it is a fight for fairness, dignity, severe discrimination, racism, and human rights in the face of unchecked abuse.

My story is also very similar to a UK-based survivor of covert harassment. You can read her blog post here to learn more about covert harassment and surveillance https://bounceblack.org/2025/01/09/hidden-in-plain-sight-workplace-retaliation-and-organised-harassment/

“If you are approached to participate in questionable surveillance, intimidation, or harassment—say no. The long-term consequences outweigh any short-term gains. History has shown that these unethical practices are eventually exposed, and those responsible rarely escape accountability. Stand on the right side of history.”

P.S. I don’t think any woman on earth has been through what I have been through and still have to go through each day! This happens under the nose of everyone in a democratic society. It’s shocking. I still think I’m dreaming. This can’t be right.
