Freedom of Expression (FOE) in Lebanon and Libya

Led by ten FOE-focused civil-society organisations, “Free Voices” #AswatHorra is a joint Libyan-Lebanese initiative that promotes freedom of expression. Libya and Lebanon are very different but, at the same time, are witnessing common challenges with freedom of expression such as violations and intimidation against independent media, civil society, and critical voices; the spread of hate speech and disinformation; and the overall restriction of fundamental civil liberties.
