LIBEL REFORM CAMPAIGN

London is now the "libel capital" of the world, where scientists, doctors and academics can been sued for speaking out in the public interest. Those that speak up are dragged through courts for years, and risk losing their homes and life savings, even if they win their cases.

Index on Censorship, English PEN and Sense About Science came together to create the Libel Reform Campaign in order to fight for reform of England's libel laws.

Join our 50,000 supporters who back our calls for a change in England's defamation laws to protect free speech around the world.

BELARUS: ZONE OF SILENCE

Act now to support the people of Belarus, Europe’s last dictatorship.

Ranked below Iran on press freedom, and lower than Zimbabwe on human rights. The OSCE have questioned every election result since 1996. Opposition leaders as well as journalists have disappeared or died in disputed circumstances. After the 2010 election, seven of the nine presidential candidates that stood against Alexander Lukashenko were jailed.

The Zone of Silence campaign stands in solidarity with threatened artists like the Belarus Free Theatre. Join us in speaking out on their behalf.
