The case of David Jones, creator of Fireman Sam, is illuminating. According to AOL he was going through airport security at Gatwick when he noticed a woman in a hijab passing through the area without showing her face. He said to the security official: “If I was wearing this scarf over my face, I wonder what would happen.” He was then confronted by another guard who said that he was being detailed because he had made “an offensive remark”.
The guard took his passport and boarding pass and he was escorted back through the security zone into the outer area. Here the female security guard proceeded to question him further, “inferring many things that I had not said”. It was impossible to get her to listen to reason. We were then joined by a second female security guard who stated that she was Muslim and was deeply distressed by my comment.
“I again staged that I had not made a racist remark but purely an observation that we were in a maximum security situation being searched throughly whilst a woman with her face covered walked through. I made no reference to race or religion. I did not swear or raise my voice.”
He was told by police that he would only be allowed to continue on his journey if he apologised to the Muslim guard. Eventually he was told by the airport manager that he would be allowed to board his flight if he would agree that what he said “could” be considered offensive by the Muslim guard, and he agreed to the compromise.
Since there’s no case study on Russia yet – what about this one: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/11/putin-russia-president-election-protests ?
I would love to debate the role of Hate media during the Rwanda genocide, facing both the domestic and internationa responses…. I have work about it and i would love to post my research and ask for further opinions
The most interesting case study which was really performed some years ago – a book everyone should have studied: Ezra Levant: “Shakedown” (describing how Canada bypassed its free speech laws by the implementation of “human rights commissions” which weren’t bound to “due process” rules). With this book, Levant has qualified himself as the unsung hero of free speech in the contemporary West AND succeeded in reducing the power of those human rights commissions.
Many thanks for this. We have an interview with Levant on our site which I’d like to direct you to: http://bit.ly/GAdfvq

One case study could be the new limitations imposed by newly elected governments and new emerging informal pressure groups on women’s right to freedom of expression in the Middle East and North Africa.
The silence imposed on the media regarding media censorship and prosecution of Israeli journalists.
The UK government human rights strategy in the Middle East
The German Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal Constitutional Court) will soon discuss whether the German National Party (NPD) can be banned.
Morally supportable or restriction of free speech?
En España, la Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH) han comenzado a realizar “escraches” frente a los domicilios de ciertos parlamentarios. La razón es que tales parlamentarios van a votar en contra de determinadas medidas que la PAH respalda. ¿Son legítimas estas acciones?
In Spain, the Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca [Mortgage Victims Platform] (PAH) are doing “escraches” on the doorstep of some members of parliament. The reason is that these MPs will vote against some measures supported by PAH. ¿Are these “escraches” legitimate?
