The Libel Reform Campaign is hosting the official “Free Speech Hustings” of the General Election 2010 and you’re invited. A representative from Labour, Dominic Grieve from the Conservatives, and Evan Harris from the Liberal Democrats go head to head over libel law reform and protecting our freedom of speech.
The Free Speech Hustings will bring together scientists, writers, human rights activists, journalists, bloggers and most importantly… voters – we want you to put the difficult questions to the candidates about free speech and libel reform, counter-terrorism, privacy and religious hatred.
The hustings is FULLY BOOKED. There is an overspill event hosted by Adam Rutherford of Nature and BBC 4 series Cell, and Padraig Reidy, News Editor Index on Censorship at:
