Blackout for Hungary

 

On the 21st of December the party holding the majority of the Hungarian
parliament voted in favor of a new media law that is a collection of some of
the most oppressive and undemocratic laws from all over Europe including
some worrying additions.

 

To show our concern for fundamental rights and free speech we black out our
online presence on the 5th January 2011 for 24 hours.

 

 

We ask everyone concerned about fundamental rights and free speech to black
