‘Down with Satire!’ How our right to freedom of expression is being eroded

This year, the 70th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights, the universal human right of freedom of expression is falling victim to a regressive movement not only in authoritarian regimes but also in our old democracies.

Five years after the attack which decimated Charlie Hebdo’s team in Paris on January 2015, when millions of citizens rallied in cities all over the world to defend freedom of expression with banners proclaiming “Je suis Charlie,” this freedom is vanishing due to general indifference.

As many warned, from the Council of Europe to Reporters without Frontiers (RSF), threats to freedom of expression, which we once thought to be a pillar of modern civilisation, are growing out of all proportion. In 2019, 31 journalists were murdered and 389 are imprisoned.
