In our day and ordsprog

In our day and age, cyberspace remains the most promising outlet for the exercise of the most elemental of all our rights: the right to free expression. At little cost and with much more freedom than is possible in the real world, the Net provides a space for one of the most profound expressions of our humanity: the need to speak out. Those of us who have lived through repressive regimes in Asia know what it is like to be forced into silence. My own story is similar to that of many of yours.

The government has committed itself to leading international negotiations on an arms trade treaty to stop global arms flows to war zones and repressive regimes. Yet in the last twelve months it has licensed weapons exports precisely to these regimes ... The government must stop arming the world's human rights abusers.

The scale of China's human rights violations is staggering. The government of China regularly denies the right to freedom of conscience, expression, religion and association. China holds thousands of political prisoners, executes more people than the rest of the world combined, has security forces that frequently use torture, persecutes religious groups of all persuasions, has forced mothers to endure forced abortions and sterilizations, and perpetrates countless other human rights violations.

We are calling on the king and the authorities in Nepal to respect the rights of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly and immediately desist in using violence and intimidation to silence the media in Nepal.

Warren Christopher

His headstone said "Free at last, Free at last" - But death is a slave's freedom - We seek the freedom of free men - And the construction of a world - Where Martin Luther King could have lived - and preached non-violence

Since freedom of religious expression is part and parcel with being American, the intentional destruction of places of worship constitute a frontal assault on our way of life, the free expression of faith and, therefore, our civil rights.

Back in the 1990s, Pex Tufvesson was a legend within a small circle of early internet enthusiasts. Humanity lives and always has lived on certain elemental provisions.

I came from a country where religious fundamentalists, including governmental authorities, denied my freedom to have thoughts that are different from their own. As a punishment, they demanded my execution by hanging. I was forced to leave my own country. I had to pay heavily for the sole reason that I believe in human rights and freedom of expression.

I started this company because I'm passionate about privacy. And I won't sit idly by while the freedom of the Internet is crushed and access to information is restricted under the thumb of repressive regimes.

But please know, whether you believe campaign contributions are speech or property, that I learned to love very dearly the right of free expression when I lived without that freedom for a while a long time ago.

We have no idea who is doing this, but we cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. Certainly, we support the free expression of ideas, but the freedom to do so must not come at the expense of the rights of others.

A freedom of expression that destroys world peace is against basic human rights.

Mayor Luzhkov is giving prejudice a veto over the rights to peaceful expression and assembly. The freedom to speak out and demonstrate publicly is not just a reflection of diversity. It is essential to democracy.

Defilement is an action, not an idea, and therefore it is not freedom of expression. It does treachery to freedom of expression. Secondly, it is a part of a trend that enrages Islamism around the world. Therefore it has to be interpreted in this context.

Mohammad Khatami

'Rock' [music]. . . is the expression of elemental passions, and at rock festivals it assumes a cultic character, a form of worship, in fact, in opposition to Christian worship. People are, so to speak, released from themselves by the experience of being part of a crowd and by the emotional shock of rhythm, noise, and special lighting effects. However, in the ecstasy of having all their defenses torn down, the participants sink, as it were, beneath the elemental force of the universe.
