Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.

I've always been a petition-signer. I always believe in freedom of expression and absolute democracy.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.

Freedom of expression is very important.

I regard freedom of expression as the primary right without which one can not have a proper functioning democracy,

Man must be able to think freely and he must be able to express his thoughts freely! He who is against this is not only fascist and primitive but at the same time is a very great coward also! Only the brave and the honourable men are never afraid of freedom of thought and freedom of expression of ideas! Just like the cockroaches do not like the light, evil minds also do not like the freedom of thoughts!
