Complete #solidarity to @DragoslavicM - and a little 🧵on protection of #journalists granted also by Article 21 (#rightofpeacefulassembly), not only Article 19 (#freedomofexpression), ICCPR
#UN #humanrightscommittee General Comment 37 on Article 21, ICCPR: "The role of #journalists, #humanrightsdefenders, election monitors & others involved in monitoring or reporting on assemblies is of particular importance for the full enjoyment of the #rightofpeacefulassembly."
"Those persons are entitled to protection under the Covenant. They may not be prohibited from, or unduly limited in, exercising these functions, including with respect to monitoring the actions of #lawenforcement officials."

During today's Commons debate on the Financial Services and Markets Bill, Miriam Cates MP rose to support new clause 27, which would prevent payment providers from refusing to supply a customer based on that customer exercising their lawful right to #freedomofexpression.
🧵1/3
🧵1/3
In a terrific intervention, Miriam noted that PayPal's attempted demonetisation of the FSU was "not a one-off", and that it was "therefore hard to avoid interpreting PayPal's actions as an orchestrated, politically motivated move to restrict certain views in the UK."
🧵2/3
🧵2/3
That was why, she added, "We must act to legally prevent payment providers from closing accounts on the basis of political beliefs, because if we don't global firms will put their own interests — financial, reputational, political — before any moral duty to act fairly."

Concepts like Orientalism & Islamophobia, originally responding to realities of past & present subordination, are now sometimes used by Western critical intellectuals to discipline those who exercise their equal right to be critical of their own contexts..

Poets, journalists, novelists, and philosophers are some of the greatest threats to rulers, elites, and extremists. Why?
Because the written word is a potent instrument that can spark revolutions and incite transformation in the hearts and minds of people. And dictators and authoritarian regimes know that. Extremists know it. And they all fear it.
I may not agree with all his works and indeed, may even be offended by some of his words, but I stand for Salman Rushdie’s right to think, write, and live according to his own conscience.

Amendments 48 and 49 seek to ensure online providers have the option of 'doing nothing' in response to "legal but harmful" content.
Amendment 50, which is that in online service providers' terms of service, "the presumption should be tipped more in favour of #freedomofexpression, more in favour of debate", by obliging providers to leave controversial content that doesn't cross the line into illegality online.
And Amendment 51, which seeks to ensure that, in the same way as journalists, politicians and the government, everyday citizens can also "seek compensation if their online content is taken down inaccurately, incorrectly or inappropriately".

Police forces are “not the thought police” said the new Chief Inspector of Constabulary, Andy Cooke.
“Thoughts, unless they become actions, aren’t an offence”, he added.

As @Tom_Slater_ pointed out for the @spectator, however, the fact that Cooke felt he had to make that intervention reminds us just how bad things have become in English #policing in recent years.
