2016 Freedom of Expression Awards shortlist

Freedom of expression is essential to the arts. But the laws and practices that protect and nurture free expression are often poorly understood both by practitioners and by those enforcing the law.

As part of Index on Censorship’s work on art and offence, Index has published a series of law packs intended to address questions about legal limits related to free expression and the arts.

Five guides covering: Child Protection, Counter Terrorism, Obscene Publications, Public Order, Race and Religion

Index publishes censored writers and artists, monitors and campaigns against censorship, and encourages debate.

We rely on donations from readers and supporters. By donating to Index you help us to protect freedom of expression and to support those who are denied that right.

Index on Censorship defends people's freedom to express themselves without fear of harm or persecution.
