Freemuse - Listen to the banned!

Imagine you're a musician or singer. Imagine you get arrested for performing your songs, almost get killed because the message of your music does not conform with the current values of the political systems you live in or a whole concert is cancelled just because you are a female guitar player. Freedom of expression and the the right to participate in cultural life are two human rights which are of special relevance for musicians. In many places on this planet, musicians are facing censorship which often leads even to a total silencing.

FREEMUSE - The World Forum on Music and Censorship is an independent international membership organisation advocating and defending freedom of expression for musicians and composers worldwide. The organisation has Special Consultative Status with the United Nation‘s Economic and Social Council, ECOSOC. Its guidelines are the principles outlined in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights as they apply specifically to musicians and composers.

Like all NGOs Freemuse is depeding on funding. You can support the organisation with a financial donation or simply spread their news through your channels!
