The right to offend and be vulgar

In the third of three special episodes of Global Podd in cooperation with Bloggers of Zambia we discuss cybercrime laws, language and the right to express yourself even if that offends those in power. 

How are totalitarian regimes using cyber crime laws on defamation to attack media and activists? And what are the responsibility of journalists and bloggers when it comes to defamation and ethics? Is it ok to use a vulgar language and to compare a dictatorial president to a pair of buttocks?

Participants

• Daniel Sikazwe, chairman of Bloggers of Zambia.
• Fatma Karume, barrister from Tanzania, barred from practicing law in her own country.
• Stella Nyanzi, Ugandan human rights activist,
