Protecting basic rights such as freedom of expression enhances social stability.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.

Freedom of expression is very important.

Man must be able to think freely and he must be able to express his thoughts freely! He who is against this is not only fascist and primitive but at the same time is a very great coward also! Only the brave and the honourable men are never afraid of freedom of thought and freedom of expression of ideas! Just like the cockroaches do not like the light, evil minds also do not like the freedom of thoughts!

Therefore, the proclamation has no effect on the Bill of Rights -- specifically the freedom of speech, of expression or of the press and the right of the people to peaceful assembly and to petition the government for redress and grievances.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
