Freedom of Expression & Information
Posted 25 July 2006
Events that accompanied the production of this edition demonstrated, more than ever, that space to freely communicate, access information, and engage in democratic processes is narrowing in some countries. In the context of these events, two interviewees from Iran and Egypt had to cancel the interviews because of emergencies in their countries. This edition not only reflects on gender and freedom of expression and information, but also calls for a renewed commitment to these fundamental rights.
