Freedom of expression is the freedom to express ones thoughts and ideas and it is very important countries that are democratic. It is basically one’s political rights to communicate one’s opinions and ideas. Democracy nurtures the freedom of speech of its citizens and in turn citizens raise voice in case of any violations of the democratic rights of the people.The concepts of freedom of speech could be found in early human rights documents also. Bill of rights in 1689 of England and Declaration of the Rights of Man and the citizen which was adopted in 1789 by the French Revolution affirms specifically the freedom of speech as an indisputable right. In Article 11, the declaration states that:

“The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.”

Today, the freedom of expression and speech has been recognized both in the regional and international Human Rights law. Based on John Milton`s argument, freedom of expression is not only the right to express or publish but also includes the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas. John Stuart Mill argued that without the freedom of thoughts or speech, there could be no progress in science, law or politics as it does require free discussion and opinions.
