The Issue
Freedom of expression and opinion is one of the most basic human rights to be enjoyed by all. This right is not only key to individual growth and dignity, but also to the effective functioning of democratic society. With many societies in Asia failing the test of genuine democracy, the freedom of expression is also curtailed and violated. This leads to the violation of many other rights, and causes much oppression and discord within society.
