This event is kindly hosted by Andy Wightman MSP.

#DEFAMATIONSCOT – Reform defamation. Protect free speech.

Free expression in Scotland is threatened by out-of-date and inadequate defamation laws, allowing the rich and powerful to silence those who disagree with them.

Join us to discuss how we can protect free expression, fight for reform and protect those speaking out with:

• ANDY WIGHTMAN MSP – Scottish Green Party MSP who is being sued for content written on his blog
• PAULO QUADROS – a volunteer Facebook group moderator who is being suded relating to comments made online
• ROSALIND MCINNES – BBC Scotland’s Principal Solicitor
• ANGELA HAGGERTY – Editor of CommonSpace and Sunday Herald Columnist

This event is free but ticketed. Reserve your ticket by 11am, 26th June.
