I’m glad to live in my country which is Canada where we can speak freely without censorship or limitation. Knowing the truth tends to always fix the root problem than lying to people until they discover the truth by themselves. How would you feel if your government is always lying to you, making promises that will never happened?

Not only in China where people can’t hold opinions without interference and people has always been fighting for freedom of speech. But in Brazil they also have been fighting for freedom of speech for over 100 years now. Freedom of speech in this country or in any other countries is important because it’s a significant impact in the quality of governance of a country. It’s important that the honest citizens have the right to participate in selecting their government without being controlled of what they can say or do. Still today, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in some countries and the right is usually subject to limitations.

The right to freedom of speech is recognized as human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is also being recognized under the international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
