edit   The Freedom of speech Portal Areopagitica Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's ideas via speech. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel, slander, obscenity and incitement to commit a crime. The right to freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the ICCPR states that "[e]veryone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". Article 19 goes on to say that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "[f]or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals".

Hoffman was arrested and tried for conspiracy and inciting to riot as a result of his role in protests that led to violent confrontations with police during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, along with Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner and Bobby Seale. The group was known collectively as the "Chicago Eight"; when Seale's prosecution was separated from the others, they became known as the Chicago Seven. While the defendants were initially convicted of intent to incite a riot, the verdicts were overturned on appeal. Hoffman came to prominence in the 1960s, and continued practicing his activism in the 1970s, and has remained a symbol of the youth rebellion of that era. edit   Did you know... ...that American photojournalist Daniel Smith (pictured) was once kidnapped by members of the Mehdi Army and taken to meet Muqtada al-Sadr? ...that 1992 was the only year the American Society of Journalists and Authors presented the Conscience-in-Media Award to more than one journalist? ...that the Colombian journalist Diana Turbay was killed while kidnapped by the Medellin Cartel in order to create pressure against the Colombia-USA extradition treaty? edit   Categories ▼ Freedom of speech ► Freedom of speech by country ► Freedom of speech by continent ► Books about freedom of speech ► Censorship ► Free speech activists ► Free speech case law edit   Wikiprojects Main parent WikiProject WikiProject Freedom of speech Related projects Human rights Internet Journalism Law Media Politics What are WikiProjects? edit   Selected quote edit   Topics Freedom of speech Awards: AAAS Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility • Valeriu Boboc Prize • CPJ International Press Freedom Awards • Four Freedoms Award • Geschwister-Scholl-Preis • Gwangju Prize for Human Rights • Hugh M.
