Los Angeles, California, USA: Legal scholars note that naming foreign leaders along with a senior U.S. prosecutor makes this case highly unusual and unlikely to move forward.
A woman from California has submitted a civil rights complaint in a U.S. federal court, accusing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro. The filing claims she was subjected to surveillance, intimidation, and even attempts on her life, according to official documents.
The case was registered on August 15 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by Diane Demmar, who is representing herself without legal counsel. Filed under the civil rights provision 42 U.S.C. 1983, the complaint argues that the named defendants allegedly acted "under color of law" in efforts to cause her harm.
