Committee to Protect Bloggers

The Committee to Protect Bloggers is devoted to the protection of bloggers worldwide with a focus on highlighting the plight of bloggers threatened and imprisoned by their government. We support the right of bloggers, regardless of professional status or engagement in activism, to speak and we do so regardless of their ethnicity, national origin, religion or political beliefs.

1. Everyone has a right to free speech as outlined in the UN charter for Human Rights, Article 19

2. No government has the right to use force to dissuade free speech

3. Societal order, custom and avoiding insult take a back seat to the free interchange of ideas
