VIOLATES HUMAN RIGHTS

Censorship zones would prevent the otherwise legal activities of citizens and violate well-established human rights. Such rights are enshrined both in domestic law and international convention.

These rights include the right to freedom of assembly, freedom of conscience, practice of religion, freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, the right to liberty and the right to receive information.

These fundamental freedoms are protected because they are essential both to individual liberty and a healthy democratic society.
