Dangerous Words 250 / Farliga Ord 250

An international conference to celebrate the 250 anniversary of the Swedish Freedom of the Press Act will be hosted on

September 24 at Van der Nootska Palace, Stockholm

The freedom to write and speak is best honoured by expressing important and sometimes dangerous thoughts:

“That freedom of expression consists of being able to tell people what they may not wish to hear, and that it must extend, above all, to those who think differently is, to me, self-evident.”  Christopher Hitchens

 “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not   want to hear” George Orwell

Speakers:

Douglas Murray,  Alexander Bard, Magnus Norell (prel), Anne Marie Waters, John Bolton (prel), Nina Rosenwald (prel) and additional Scandinavian writers, commentators and artists

Organising ad-hoc committee:
