AN EMAIL TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE

To whom it may concern,

I am writing in order to call for a change in favor of freedom of speech which, nowadays, fails to be observed in many places around the world.

If we are supposed to be able to speak our minds, why are so many people (journaliss, writers...) imprisoned, locked up for trying to put out their opinion?

In the majority, if not in all the cases, this injustice happens when brave people call out the government for its bad performance. But this is not how things should be, that is not what I want society to be like. There is a quote that reads: "by cutting out a man's tongue you don't prove that he's wrong, you just prove that you are afraid of what he has to say". And just so you know, I would be interested in what they have to say.

I wish these countries would prove that human rights are guaranteed, I wish they would stop contributing to the misinformation of the whole world by shutting other people up, and I wish I didn't have to write this letter, because that would mean that human rights would always be guaranteed for everyone, and not only with the approval of powerful people.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
