New campaign for freedom of speech
Lately, tunisian blogosphere seems to like bloggers campaigns as a way to unite people and make them express their opinion about a chosen theme.
After the Blank Post Action launched on the 25th of december to protest about censorship on the internet and joined by many arab bloggers and some people from other regions, and the campaign for the Maghreb Union launched on the 1st of june and joined by bloggers from different countries of the Maghreb, tunisian blogger Samsoum launched a new campaign on the theme “Freedom of Speech” for the 1st of July.
This campaign is meant to be an occasion for every participant to talk about his own definition of freedom in general and freedom of speech in particular, the importance of freedom in day-to-day life, how to gain freedom and to use it, and every other related question, whether it concerns social, cultural, religious, political or intellectual freedom.
As for the previous actions, many bloggers already chose to take part of it, while others are disapproving and claiming that this campaign is useless and is encouraging people to talk in vain and to set limitations to a principle which have to be defended every day.
However, this campaign is open to every supportive participation as to any criticism and is an occasion to discuss the subject.
