JK Rowling and Elon Musk are named in a cyberbullying complaint filed by Olympic champion boxer Imane Khelif, according to her lawyer.

J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have both been named in a criminal complaint filed to French authorities over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment” against Algerian boxer and newl crowned Olympic champion Imane Khelif.

Nabil Boudi, the Paris-based attorney of Khelif, confirmed to Variety that both figures were mentioned in the body of the complaint, posted to the anti-online hatred center of the Paris public prosecutor’s office on Friday.

The lawsuit was filed against X, which under French law means that it was filed against unknown persons. That “ensure[s] that the ‘prosecution has all the latitude to be able to investigate against all people,” including those who may have written hateful messages under pseudonyms, said Boudi. The complaint nevertheless mentions famously controversial figures.

      The level of cruel and unusual punishment present in Azkaban is beyond what any person could ever deserve to be subjected to. And the fact that the heroes do not abolish Azkaban by the end of the books is a sign of Rowling’s neoliberal, anti-change worldview. Harry and the gang save the one single innocent person from Azkaban, but everyone else still suffers, having every happy memory drained away. Rowling believes in punishment, not rehabilitation.
