The Free Speech Hustings, 21 April
19 Apr 10

Index on Censorship and the Libel Reform Campaign are hosting the official “Free Speech Hustings” of the General Election 2010 and you’re invited. We have a number of free tickets reserved especially for our supporters so you can see Jack Straw from Labour, Dominic Grieve from the Conservatives, and Evan Harris from the Liberal Democratsgo head to head over libel law reform and protecting our freedom of speech.

The Free Speech Hustings will bring together scientists, writers, human rights activists, journalists, bloggers and most importantly… voters – we want you to put the difficult questions to the candidates about free speech and libel reform, counter-terrorism, privacy and religious hatred.

The event is hosted by the Libel Reform Campaign – Sense About Science, English PEN and Index on Censorship

21 April at 6.30pm at the Free Word Centre, 60 Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3GA – to book email: [email protected] or call 020 7324 2570.

At Index on Censorship, we believe everyone deserves the right to speak freely, challenge power and share ideas without fear. In a world where governments tighten control and algorithms distort the truth, defending those rights is more urgent than ever.

But free speech is not free. Instead we rely on readers like you to keep our journalism independent, our advocacy sharp and our support for writers, artists and dissidents strong.

If you believe in a future where voices aren’t silenced, help us protect it.
