Free Speech And Why It Matters Doyle , Andrew
an e il Free speech is the bedrock of all our liberties, and yet in recent years it has come to be mistrusted. A new form of social justice activism has prompted a national debate on where the limitations of acceptable speech should be drawn. However well-intentioned, these trends represent a threat to the freedoms that our ancestors fought and died to secure. In this incisive and 100687 fascinating book, Doyle addresses head-on the most common concerns of free speech sceptics, and offers a timely and robust defence of this most foundational of principles.

Trial of Julian Assange: A Story of Persecution an e us Melzer , Nils In July 2010, Wikileaks published Cablegate, one of the biggest leaks in the history of the US military, including evidence for war crimes and torture. In the aftermath Julian Assange, the founder and spokesman of Wikileaks, found himself at the center of a media storm, accused of hacking and later sexual assault. Nils Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, started his investigation into how the US and UK governments were working together to ensure a conviction. Melzer's compelling 109102 investigation puts the UK and US state into the dock, showing how, through secrecy, impunity and, crucially, public indifference, unchecked power reveals a deeply undemocratic system.
