Dear John,
Far more people are experiencing a deepening decline in freedom of expression than are seeing advances in their freedoms, reveals this year's Global Expression Report.
The data this year shows a bleak reality – more than two thirds of us have less freedom of expression now than a decade ago. For every 1 person who has experienced advances in freedom of expression over the last 10 years, 19 people have experienced declines.
In the past year alone, freedom of expression declined in 13 countries and advanced in just 4 countries. Just 15% of us, in only 35 countries, live in countries ranked ‘Open’.
