Introduction

Imposing restrictions on free speech means a halt to the intellectual and material progress of the nations. Free competition of ideas distinguishes the successful nations from undemocratic and failed nations. The defence of free speech is the basic requirement of success in a world of varied thoughts. The free speech is as important a right as the freedom of territory; people without freedom of speech are mindless slaves like sheep on altar of sacrifice. Free speech, being the basic right of individual, ensures the inapplicability of physical tortures and humiliations on holding or not holding a certain thought. Freedom of speech provides world a systematic course of living peacefully with differing opinions. It opens the horizon of disagreeing in an agreeable way; it promotes an atmosphere of free competition of ideas where one is free to choose right from the wrong. The free speech should be defended to prevent humanity form being a victim of majority’s propaganda against minority. Agreeing with differing thoughts is not compulsory but providing the freedom of speech despite differences is essential for the survival of coexistence. An excellent introduction waqar.

5. It provides an equal opportunity to the ideas of any social or economic class to be presented and defended.
6. A demand for accountability of the wrongs done to humanity by any nation or individual.

E. the defense of free speech demands constant vigilance

1. Differing opinions are treated by majority with humiliations and torture

3. Media persons suffer for opening the political and economic corruptions of powerful
4. Powerful group more successfully interpret its ideas whereas weak section does not have the resources.

G. How the free speech should be defended?

1. A Collective action of nations to end hostilities on the basis of differing opinions.
2.The State should defend the right of media of bringing corruption and social issues in the limelight.
