Chapter 7 · Human rights
En kommun vill stoppa en invånares sakliga kritik av kommunens beslut. Vilken frihet skyddar invånarens rätt att uttrycka kritiken?
A municipality wants to stop a resident’s factual criticism of its decision. Which freedom protects the right to express that criticism?
Correct answer: Freedom of expression
Freedom of expression protects the ability to voice thoughts and opinions, including criticism of those in power. A municipality’s dislike of factual criticism is not sufficient reason to suppress it.
