The freedom of speech is the prominent priority of democracy and one of the main indicators of to human right. It is ironical to perceive the progress of democracy without commitment to priorities of democratic principles at the head of which is the freedom of speech that means, among other things the efficiency of the art of dialogue and the best use of the constructive and sincere word.
