Other cities world-wide

On 11 February, there will be actions and acts of solidarity in other cities, including Australia, Brazil, France, Gambia, Germany, Poland, Portugal, and South Africa. To see the list or to add your own action or event, click here. Your act of solidarity can be anything from standing in a city square with a placard, changing your Facebook image, tweeting: #11FebFEDay or #11FebFreeExpression, doing a video, blogging about the day or organising a debate like in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Clearly, the time has come to take a firm and uncompromising stand for free expression and against all forms of bogus accusations, threats and censorship.

11 February is our chance to take a stand.

Join us.

See you there.
