A Speakers’ Corner for Nigeria?
September 2008
SCT is now preparing for what could become the first project in its international programme. Following discussions with the Nigerian High Commissioner in London and the British High Commission in Abuja, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office has agreed to fund a scoping exercise which will feature consultation both in the UK and with potential partners and supporters in Nigeria. If all goes well, FCO funding will be sought to enable SCT to undertake the substantive project next year.
Freedom of Expression
"Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of democratic life. It is by the free exchange of ideas among citizens about how they should live together and how they should be governed that we create and sustain the democratic society. So the rights to free association and expression are scarcely less important than the right to live in peace and free from want."
