In the “Krone” forum, there is eagerly discussing and debating every day. In our section “Reader Debate” we want to emphasize special comments and ask the community for their opinion from an exciting partial aspect. Today it is about Amnesty International and Freedom of Pressing.
Freedom of expression is one of the highest goods of a functioning democracy. But this is exactly what human rights organizations in Austria are increasingly in danger. Politicians are increasingly creating a story ‘in which protests’ as criminal’ are shown, according to Amnesty Austria Managing Director Shoura Hashemi.
Freedom of meeting against personal freedom
In the “Krone” forum, our readers then used the right to freedom of expression after Amnesty International. Although most readers quickly agree that our freedom of expression is a high possession, the spirits differ on where it ends and when from peaceful protest.
User Alderichknows Offers us the comment about the current debate of the reader: fundamental rights such as the right to freedom of expression and assembly and the right to personal freedom should not be played against each other.
The fact that Amnesty International is now committed to precisely the forms of protest that limits the average population in their fundamental rights, the human rights NGO costs the rest of its remaining credibility, so so Alderichknows.
How do you assess the arguments of Amnesty International? Can the right to freedom of assembly overwrite other fundamental rights? Are the penalties against protest movements such as the last generation justified? How can activists effectively protest without jeopardizing the rights of the population? We look forward to your opinions and ideas and look forward to many responses!
