Here is an interview with Peter Greste, the Al Jazeera English journalist who was held in an Egyptian prison for 400 days. He was charged with spreading lies to help a terrorist organization, and his two colleagues remain imprisoned.

Some are not so lucky, and are targeted by terrorist groups. Please do your part. Press Freedom Day is coming up on Sunday, May 3. Help spread the word and educate yourself about threats against freedom of speech.
Here is another video about the Charlie Hebdo shooting in France. On January 7, 2015 the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine, were attacked by two gunmen claiming to belong to al-Qaeda.. They were offended by the satire the Hebdo offices were publishing about the prophet Mohammad. Click on the link below to visit the BBC's coverage.http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-30710777
We do not agree with the satirical images published by this magazine, but as advocates of freedom of speech we believe that no one has the right to suppress it.
