Page Not Found: Censorship and Human Rights in the 21st Century
September 21, 2021 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
Each year during Banned Books Week, Amnesty International draws attention to people around the world who have been imprisoned, threatened, or murdered because of their writing, art, or other published work. In solidarity with the American Library Association (ALA) and organizations across the U.S. and around the world, Amnesty activists work to fight challenges to freedom of expression.
Censorship in the 21st century involves suppression of books, news, and social media. Around the world, governments are trying to control the internet through cyber-censorship and surveillance. Using sophisticated technology to silence, spy on, harass and track critical voices, there is an increase in governments targeting individuals and journalists.
