What is Free Speech?Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. The term "freedom of expression" is sometimes used synonymously but includes any act of seeking, receiving, and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. Freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the UDHR states that "everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice".
Who is Avi Yemeni?At Rebel News, we tell the other side of the story. We follow the facts wherever they may lead - even if that conflicts with the official narrative of the establishment. We see that the mainstream media pretends to be impartial, but they increasingly behave like political parties. They don't admit their own political bias, and they pretend to be neutral providers of the news when they are anything but.
