Freedom of Thought and Expression - check www.pictureyourrights.org
April 7, 2008 - 10:08 AM

Do you have the right to think freely and express your opinions? The United Nations think you do. In Articles 18 and 19 of the Human Rights it is said you have freedom of opinion and expression. But do you really?

Being legally allowed to say what you think is not the same as having the opportunity to make yourself heard. Censorship is outlawed, but that doesn't mean every opinion gets in the news. Do you suffer from practical censorship?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights also explicitly mentions the right to change your opinion and your beliefs. Borders do not become real until you try to pass them. Remember your cross-over religious experience, and the last time you radically changed your opinion? How did your parents, lovers, friends and the government greet you after your mental makeover?

Claim your right to brainwash your society, play hide and seek with your taboos and bring your camera and imagination along!

Pictures and slogans connected to this topic will be treated with extra care from the jury, if they are posted before the 15th of May.
