This website will provide you with information about freedom of expression
in Bulgaria and more precisely about judicial proceedings against journalists
accused of insult and libel.
You can read about
the project that made
it possible to gather and bring this information to you. You’ll learn more
about
the research that we carried out
together with the regional correspondents of the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency
and about the number of trials against journalists in the country. On this
page you can find
the international freedom
of expression standards*, and you can find out what the
Bulgarian
court practice on insult and libel cases looks like. You can find out
what we think, as well as what other
people think about freedom of expression in Bulgaria. Finally, you can learn
more about
our new project.
This project is co-financed by the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights to help promote and defend human rights and fundamental freedoms, to support
the processes of democratisation as well as measures for conflict-prevention
and resolution.
