Freedom Week - support press freedom

30 Apr 2012

The Right2Know campaign calls on society to mark 27 April (Freedom Day), 1 May (Worker's Day) and 3 May (World Press Freedom Day), as opportunities to recognise and celebrate hard-fought battles and hard-won victories in the struggle to realise these rights and to reflect on the challenges that lie ahead.

It will be hosting a series of events in recognition and celebration of the struggles and victories that all citizens, workers and journalists have fought for, to secure our collective 'freedom'.
