Free speech is basically dying in the West - Australian legal scholar

‘Free speech is basically dying in the West’ - Australian legal scholar The West’ sanctions campaign against Sputnik is part of a broader campaign against free speech, said Dr. Augusto Zimmermann, an internationally known legal scholar. “It seems there is really an attempt to suppress any alternative information, and they are now construing this as a form of misinformation, which is basically anything that's not endorsed by the ruling classes,” said Zimmermann. He added that journalism is “in dire straits in the West” due to a “fascistic reality, where the government imposes its view and persecutes very severely those who dare to express different opinions.” Subscribe to [club80289214|@SputnikInt] Source: Sputnik International
