We employ legal means to ensure that fundamental rights such as freedom of the press and freedom of expression are not disproportionately restricted, whether through intimidation, excessive official measures, or criminal prosecution. Independent media and open social exchange are the foundation of a vibrant democracy. The press and citizens must be able to conduct independent research, identify abuses, and express criticism freely.
