Monica Smit of Australia: Another win for someone on the right side of history

By Randall Richards
Monica Smit, founder of Reignite Freedom and a leader in spreading the truth about mandates, lockdowns and the safety of injections, can sleep a bit better tonight. She has had a legal win in her home country of Australia, where the judge found she was unlawfully arrested during a 2020 anti lockdown protest.

She was found not guilty of three of the four charges against her. Moreover Smit has been awarded $4000 in damages due to the unlawful arrest. Smit made “two posts” about a protest and was consequently sent to prison.

In her ruling the judge wrote: “I have found that Smit was falsely imprisoned on two of the three occasions that she was arrested,” County Court Judge My Anh Tran said in her published decision, which noted there was “special and enduring protection afforded by the common law to the human right to liberty”.

“By definition, human rights are available to every member of our society, including people whose views may be seen as unreasonable by the majority of community members. Indeed, the protection of minorities from the tyranny of the majority is one of the tenets of human rights law.” She’s the author of the book Cell 22 on the on the debacle of justice finally gone right.
