INTRODUCTION: What is this Course about?

Defend the Rights:

Violation of this right to freedom must not be just a topic of conversation among
rights activities, human rights defender, the people in general
or the focus of academic conferences.

The situation is clear and we must deal with it swiftly. Journalists are killed,
harassed and imprisoned around the world for the crime of having
“bad” opinions.

More than 500 have been killed on the job over the past decade. In 90 percent of
cases, their killers have not been caught.
