Is Free Speech all impulse? Or is it about mindful responsibility?

Historian and journalist Harry Stopes joins Lester Kiewit to discuss his recent London Review of Books piece, “High Bars,” which explores the German government’s attempt to deport four pro-Palestinian activists without any criminal convictions. Drawing from court documents, political context, and historical precedent, Stopes examines how Germany is using administrative law to sidestep criminal proceedings—raising concerns about freedom of speech, political dissent, and the expanding definition of “support for terrorism.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The right to free expression is severely threatened in many places in the world, yet it has also never been so passionately defended. This lecture focuses on the recent history of banned literature. It considers the changing nature of literary censorship, arguments in defence of free expression, why literary writers have so frequently pushed the boundaries of the acceptable, and the impact of technology on censorship and free speech.This lecture was recorded by Rachel Potter on 12th March 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Rachel Potter is Professor of Modern Literature at the University of East Anglia.

President Donald Trump has always bashed the press. But his attacks are no longer just rhetorical — he's using lawsuits to intimidate the news media, and he's inspired a conservative legal movement to overturn the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. The landmark Supreme Court decision protects freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and unfortunately, Trump's attempt to destroy it are part of a larger pattern of tearing away at our right to freedom of expression.  To break it all down, Kara speaks to three exceptional journalists: David Enrich, a deputy investigations editor for The New York Times and the author of four books, including the newly released, Murder the Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful; Ruth Marcus, a former associate editor and columnist for The Washington Post and the author of Supreme Ambition: Brett Kavanaugh and the Conservative Takeover; and Ben Mullin, a media reporter for The New York Times covers the major players in the news and entertainment business.  Questions?

What happens when the government turns the law into a weapon? In these first few months of the second Trump administration human rights advocates, legal scholars, and university leaders are warning of a political landscape where funding is slashed, free speech is chilled, and legal institutions are bent to serve those in power. From defunding human rights initiatives to threatening universities and using the justice system for political retribution, many say the future of democracy is on the line.In this episode, we explore the growing fear—and defiance—among those on the frontlines. Can universities withstand political pressure? Will the rule of law hold against efforts to consolidate power? What does the future of human rights look like in this new environment, and can it adapt, change and survive?

Dreams have power, especially when they've been nurtured for over fifteen years. Join Chastity Queen as she unveils her most cherished vision – creating a countryside Femdom Manor where crossdressers and submissives can escape societal expectations and truly be themselves.The dream unfolds with remarkable detail: a sprawling country estate with separate wings for the Queen and her sissy slaves, weekend retreats for professionals seeking liberation from their structured lives, and a renovated barn transformed into an elite dungeon space. Every aspect has been thoughtfully considered, from color-coded maid uniforms to privacy contracts, from specialized play areas to grand meals.What makes this vision particularly fascinating is its historical foundation. Chastity Queen draws additional inspiration from Casa Susanna, a groundbreaking 1950s-60s retreat that provided safe haven for crossdressers during an intensely conformist era. Recently featured in an art exhibition, this historical precedent proves that such sanctuaries aren't merely fantasies – they've existed before and fulfilled profound human needs.The emotional core of this episode emerges as Chastity Queen reflects on the painful contrast between her liberated mindset and her financial limitations. COVID-19 devastated her previous Kink house and savings, leaving her dream seemingly out of reach. Yet her passion remains undimmed as she articulates why such spaces matter: they celebrate diversity, creativity, and open-mindedness in a world increasingly hostile to gender diversity and sexual freedom.This isn't just about personal pleasure – it's about creating essential sanctuaries where people can explore their authentic selves without judgment. Whether you identify with alternative lifestyles or simply believe in freedom of expression, this episode challenges you to imagine a more accepting world.

Skyrocketing costs of attendance, declining enrollment, the advent of artificial intelligence, campus debates about free speech, and a crackdown on diversity initiatives: Today's universities are in a pickle. Adding to this pickle are President Trump's threats and actions on slashing research funding — the financial lifeline of modern universities. Last month, the Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted a new survey of a diverse group of university presidents who were asked if they “believe the Trump Administration is at war with higher education” — and 94% answered they strongly agree.Luigi and Bethany speak to one academic leader with deep experience at the heart of these debates: Nicholas Dirks, former Chancellor of UC Berkeley (2013-2017) and author of the book, "City of Intellect: The Uses and Abuses of the University." Together, the three of them discuss which idea of the university is still valid in the 21st century, how fundraising changed the governance of higher education, and how universities might navigate the challenges of Trump's second administration.Revisit our previous episodes:Universities and Politics: Should They Mix? with Hanna GrayThe Economics of Student Protests

Nicole Fritz, Executive Director of The Campaign for Free Expression, joins John Maytham to discuss recent treason allegations against AfriForum and Solidarity and why CFE finds these statements deeply concerning.

Martin Baron led two of the world's most important newsrooms, those of The Boston Globe and The Washington Post. He was at the former when the newspaper exposed the network of cover-ups of pedophile Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Boston. At the latter, he was present during the Edward Snowden leaks about the National Security Agency (NSA)'s spying activities and during Trump's first presidency, marked by the Republican's confrontational stance toward the media. Now, enjoying the retirement he has embraced for a few years, he analyzes the global landscape, the threats to freedom of expression, and the role of the media in the digital age.

Stephen Sackur speaks to one of India's most influential media voices, N. Ram, Director of The Hindu Publishing Group. With independent journalists complaining of intimidation and social media facing new curbs, is freedom of expression under threat in the world's biggest democracy?

US President-elect Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may soon diverge in their approaches to a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yet, the Trump administration is set, as a ceasefire takes effect in Gaza, to cement suppression of criticism of the Jewish state, a pillar of Israel's long-standing effort to manipulate US and international public opinion and squash public censure.

How do we balance freedom of expression, professional responsibilities, and the role of the regulator? Scott McLeod shares the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta's perspective. With media coverage and recently proposed legislation focused on freedom of expression of regulated professionals, the CPSA sought to clarify the college's intent and the need to strike the right balance of allowing physicians the freedom to express their opinions while upholding their responsibilities as a professional to protect the public. Scott talks about the challenge to the practitioner of differentiating professional and personal identities, the college's responsibility to determine when professionals' public statements may affect patient care and safety, the complications brought about by social media, and the importance of remaining open to diverse opinions and respectful open discourse.

At a time when online hate speech and misinformation are on the rise, one of the missions of the UN education and culture agency UNESCO, has been to propose pathways for more effective social media platform governance.It's crucial for tech companies to gear policies towards a comprehensive system with one main goal – “the protection and promotion of all human rights for everyone”.That's the view of Guilherme Canela, Chief of Freedom of Expression and Safety for Journalists at UNESCO, who will be in San Francisco next week for discussions with executives of tech companies and social media platforms.Ahead of that he spoke to UN News's Felipe de Carvalho and highlighted the importance of fact-checking to safeguard freedom of expression.

She's often credited as being the most-read female novelist in Turkey.

In recent months, activists, journalists, and ordinary citizens have found themselves behind bars for exercising what many Nigerians believe is one of their fundamental human rights – the freedom of expression.Often, authorities argue that they are acting to preserve social order, but critics argue that these actions mirror attempts to silence criticism, shrink civic spaces, and instill fear in the populace.Are Nigerians being stripped of their right to freedom of expression by authorities at different levels?On this episode of Nigeria Daily, we explore the legality, justifications, and implications of  the arrest of a citizen for criticising those in power.

President Putin has taken to the airwaves, delivering an address which any Ukrainian would immediately recognise as a declaration of war.For months there had been troop build ups and a steady drum of warnings that Russia was about to invade. Then, only a couple of hours after Putin's address, Anna awoke to the sounds of explosions outside her home.In this - the last episode of the series - Nicola speaks to Anna about how she and her colleagues continued to report from inside Ukraine despite missile strikes, internet shutdowns and an aggressive Russian disinformation campaign.

Today the Wagner Group is known to many for the role it played in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But in 2018, when Nigerian journalist Philip Obaji Jr began to investigate their activities in Africa, the group was still largely unknown.What Philip discovered was human rights atrocities on an unimaginable scale. In central and west Africa, the Wagner Group was exploiting the natural resources to fund Russia's proxy wars, seizing gold mining sites and opening fire on the communities that lived nearby. One day in December 2023, Philip went on a high-risk reporting trip to the Central African Republic to visit a community of gold miners. But within an hour of arriving in a border village, he was captured, badly beaten and detained.In this week's episode, Philip tells Nicola about the risks he took to expose the truth about Putin's paramilitaries and their crimes in Africa. Presented by Nicola KellyProducer: Kevin Caners

On 15 August 2021, veteran journalist Sanjar Sohail watched in horror as the Afghan capital Kabul fell to the Taliban once again. Though he was safe at his home in Canada, Sanjar was responsible for a network of reporters across Afghanistan. Fifteen years earlier, he had set up Hasht-e-Subh. The media outlet had gained notoriety for its investigative reporting, pioneering a new type of journalism previously unfamiliar to Afghans. Its reporters were known for their tenacity, digging up stories that those in power wanted to bury. Now that the Taliban had returned, the lives of all those who worked for the platform were at immediate risk. In this episode, Nicola speaks to Sanjar about his recollections from the day of the takeover; how his network of reporters operate under the Taliban, and what he and his colleagues do to ensure sources still inside Afghanistan are protected.Presented by Nicola KellyProducer: Kevin Caners

On 16 September 2022, Iranian photojournalist Yalda Moaiery was out on the streets of the Iranian capital Tehran, capturing images of protests that were soon to sweep around the world.Days before, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old girl from Kurdistan, had been arrested by Iran's morality police, accused of not wearing her headscarf properly. Shortly after that, news emerged that Mahsa had died in police custody. Though the authorities have always denied it, eyewitnesses say she was severely beaten by prison officers, later dying of the injuries she had sustained. It was a pivotal moment for hundreds of thousands of people in Iran, who took to the streets, chanting “Women, Life, Freedom”. In this episode, Nicola speaks to Yalda about being detained in the notorious Qarchak prison, what she witnessed at the protests and the brutal crackdowns that followed. Nearly two years on, how much has changed for women in Iran, and for those who expose the truth about what's really going on there?Presented by Nicola KellyProducer: Kevin CanersFollowed ARTICLE 19 on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/article19org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ARTICLE19org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/article19/

Joining us to talk about the recent campus protests and their ramifications for free speech is Kristen Shahverdian of PEN America. Kristen discusses the various balls that campuses must keep in the air, considering the participants' right to free speech, safety on campus, and viewpoint-neutral policy decisions. She discusses the advice that PEN America offers to campus administrators about how to reasonably respond to protesters and what would constitute a disproportionate reaction. We dig into the history of campus protests, from the Free Speech movement to Kent State, as well as recent specific incidents at Columbia University and Indiana University. Kristen also tackles such complexities as repercussions for civil disobedience, draconian punishments, and how the protests have been represented in the media. All this, and more, for free!
