Freedom of Expression and Access to Information
In any democracy, the right to freedom of expression and access to accurate information are foundational. NHRJ works to protect individuals from censorship, intimidation, and misinformation, advocating for their right to freely express opinions and access unbiased, factual information. Through legal assistance and public advocacy, we push for media freedom, support journalists facing repression, and combat disinformation that silences or misleads the public. By defending this essential right, we empower citizens to actively participate in societal progress and safeguard their right to make informed decisions.
