2.1 Liberty of expression Freedom of expression is about people who can express their opinions and ideas.

There are some countries where the rights aren’t

respected.

We choose this human right because We think ​ that this human right is very important because, it is very good that everybody can express themselves ​ with liberty. At present there are many news about this matter, therefore it seems very interesting and easier to find information.

2.2 Spanish condition In Spain, the liberty of expression has been reduced. ​ The laws that some politicians have approved do not allow journalists to express themselves freely.

The Only american country which doesn’t respect the freedom of expression is Cuba and it is the place where most journalists are imprisoned.
