Amnesty International

Issue 27 | June 2013

Background

After a ten-year absence, Amnesty International had opened up an office in Brazil. They wanted to raise awareness of their return through a campaign about the issues of “freedom of expression”.

In 2012, the United Nations had declared that access to the internet is a basic human right. It had had a profound effect on the uprisings and the outcomes of the Arab Spring. However, in several countries censorship is a problem.
