Restricted Subjects: Freedom of Expression in the United Kingdom
refdoc February=1992

Fund for Free Expression. New York: Human Rights Watch, 485 Fifth
Avenue, New York 1991 Ã3 (pb). In recent years, with the absence
of a written constitution, freedom of expression in the UK has
been restricted through the official Secrets Act, changes in the
libel laws, limitations on the right to demonstrate and the
erosion of broadcasting independence. This report documents the
restrictions and makes recommendations for legal reform.

Available in the library of Liberty, 21 Tabard Street, London SE1
4LA. Tel: 071-403-3888. Books are available for reference. Please
make an appointment if you wish to visit - a small charge is made
to non-members.

Our work is only possible with your support.
