FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right that guarantees that people freely express themselves without fear of censorship, restraint, or punishment from government or non-governmental organizations. It includes the freedom to express thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and information through various mediums, including speech, writing, art, and other forms of expression.
Freedom of speech is based on the premise that all perspectives, including unpopular or controversial, should be heard and debated openly within society. This principle not only supports individual autonomy and self-expression, but also encourages the exchange of different points of view, which is necessary for a lively and pluralistic democratic society.
