#illridewithyou #Freedom_of_speech #Human_Rights Hashtag from Australia started when a lady saw another taking off her Hijab in public transport If youre a Muslim person feeling threatened on public transport in Aus pls check #illridewithyou for people in your area willing to support Why it matters. This hashtag movement is a powerful sign that Australians wont get worked up into a Islamophobic rage because of the actions of a single madman. Its also a lesson for countries like the U.S., where hate crimes against Muslims spike whenever theres a criminal or terrorist incident involving Muslims, or even when something innocuous happens like debating the placement of a mosque in New York City which wasnt even a mosque. Australian social media users are showing Muslims theyre safe in their home and shouldnt fear retaliation for an incident theyre not linked to. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_religion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate ones opinions and ideas using ones body and property[clarification needed][citation needed] to anyone who is willing to receive them. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. The right to freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the ICCPR states that [e]veryone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference and everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice. Article 19 goes on to say that the exercise of these rights carries special duties and responsibilities and may therefore be subject to certain restrictions when necessary [f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others or [f]or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals.[2][3]
