Freedom of Expression
The Freedom of Expression is a centuries-old concept that is still not recognized as an absolute right in many parts of the world.
Finding the right balance between protecting the freedom of expression and ensuring that this freedom is not used to justify the spreading of hatred and divide is a challenge. We strive towards speaking for the silenced and representing the restricted. Understanding what comes under one’s freedom of expression and where reasonable restrictions may be imposed, is an important exploration, given the increasing instances of censorship occurring around the world.
Issues We Are Currently Working On
- Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP)
- Free speech and the right to expression: where is it absolute and why?
- Reasonable restrictions: whether they are reasonable or not
- Freedom of press and of artistic expression
- What amounts to expression? Which expressions are protected?
- Is this right inalienable, universal, and fundamental?
- Violation of this right, consequences and penalization
