Freedom of expression

It’s time for change in china, Scores of supporters of one of China's most liberal newspapers demonstrated outside its headquarters on Monday in a rare protest against censorship, backing an unusual strike by journalists against interference by the provincial propaganda chief. Chinese journalists has started a protest against the press freedom. The gatherings outside Southern Weekend’s newspaper office have been relatively small: a few hundred people on Monday, January 7th, and at most about a hundred on Tuesday. They would have urged against the Communist part to uphold the Chinese constitution and the freedoms it purportedly guarantees.

The voice of the people have became more powerful who took turns to address the crowd appears to have grown bolder. Several called for freedom of the press and freedom of speech—as well as free elections—to shouts of approval from those who had gathered around on the pavement in front of the building. People held banner which simply said “free china”. At one point someone was heard to shout: “Down with the Communist Party. The Communist Party must step down!”

Freedom of expression is a human’s birth right but in china media does not have their freedom of expression it is some like dictatorship. Same drama happened in India, Mumbai two girls were arrested for the facebook post which talks about the band during Balsaheb Thackery’s death. I still don’t understand that which religious sentiments got hurt by the post which didn’t even take the name of the Mass leader.

We have our freedom of expression whether it is at individual level or mass level. The free flow of information in mass media is the universal right given to the whole world. There should be an equivalent news flow which helps the people to form the own opinion and not force by others.
