FREEDOM OF SPEECH / FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

FREEDOM OF SPEECH / FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak without censorship and/or limitation. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes used to indicate not only freedom of verbal speech but any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used [United Nations, 1966, 1976]. The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR recognizes the right to freedom of speech as "the right to hold opinions without interference. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression". Furthermore freedom of speech is recognized in European, inter-American and African regional human rights law [United Nations, 1966, 1967]. Freedom of speech, or the freedom of expression, is recognized in international and regional human rights law. The right is enshrined in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights and Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights [Andrew Puddephatt & Hodder Arnold, 2005; Kumar, Ambika, 2006].

In Islamic ethics freedom of speech was first declared in the Rashidun period by the caliph Umar in the 7th century. In the Abbasid Caliphate period, freedom of speech was also declared by al-Hashimi (a cousin of Caliph al-Ma'mun) in a letter to one of the religious opponents he was attempting to convert through reason.

According to George Makdisi and Hugh Goddard, "the idea of academic freedom" in universities was "modelled on Islamic custom" as practiced in the medieval Madrasah system from the 9th century. Islamic influence was "certainly discernible in the foundation of the first deliberately-planned university" in Europe [Boisard, Marcel A., 1980].

Permintaan syabu di kalangan anak peneroka Felda meningkat - Polis N.Sembilan

SEREMBAN 9 Mei - Permintaan terhadap dadah sintetik atau syabu dalam kalangan anak peneroka Felda di negeri ini menunjukkan trend peningkatan meskipun harganya lebih mahal berbanding dadah jenis heroin yang sebelum ini lebih popular di kawasan itu.

MUHAMAD ZAKI HARUN

Ketagihan kronik terhadap dadah yang mahal ini dikatakan turut menjadi antara penyumbang kepada berlakunya pelbagai kes-kes jenayah termasuklah pecah rumah, samun dan ragut, bagi membolehkan pelakunya memperoleh wang segera untuk membeli bekalan.

Timbalan Ketua Polis Negeri Sembilan, SAC Muhamad Zaki Harun berkata, permintaan dadah jenis syabu hampir menyamai permintaan dadah jenis heroin yang sebelum ini lebih popular di kawasan-kawasan Felda disebabkan sifat mahu mencuba dan merasa pelbagai jenis dadah.

"Untuk itu mereka memerlukan wang yang lebih banyak dan apabila tiada wang, inilah yang menyumbang kepada berlakunya kes jenayah di kawasan sekitar.

"Kita akui terdapat kaitan bahawa sekiranya ada penagih di sesuatu kawasan, maka akan berlakulah jenayah sampingan yang lain bahkan ada juga di kalangan penagih mencuri getah dan kelapa sawit untuk dijual memandangkan harga komoditi itu ketika ini agak mahal. Kiranya mereka akan melakukan apa sahaja jenayah asalkan mereka memperoleh wang untuk membeli bekalan," katanya.

Katanya, selain itu, pengambilan air ketum juga merekodkan permintaan tinggi ketika ini, bahkan polis turut menemui ladang ketum dan tempat memproses air ketum di daerah Jempol yang diusahakan oleh pihak tidak bertanggungjawab.

Lebih membimbangkan, pengedar ketum yang ditahan itu berasal dari kawasan Felda, sekaligus memudahkan lagi bekalan dadah diperoleh anak-anak Felda di kawasan berkenaan, katanya.

Muhamad Zaki berkata, berdasarkan statistik tangkapan berkaitan dadah di Felda di seluruh Negeri Sembilan bagi tempoh Januari hingga Februari tahun ini, menunjukkan peningkatan sebanyak 67 peratus berbanding tempoh sama tahun lepas.

“Operasi telah kita jalankan di kawasan Felda di daerah Kuala Pilah, Tampin, Jelebu dan Jempol dan mendapati kenaikan dari segi tangkapan pada tahun ini iaitu seramai 136 orang berbanding 81 orang dalam tempoh sama tahun lepas,” katanya.

Meskipun pelbagai usaha membanteras penyalahgunaan dadah dilaksanakan, beliau berkata, selagi ia mendapat permintaan, selagi itulah akan adanya bekalan dan bagi memastikan kegiatan kegiatan itu dapat dihapuskan secara holistik, elemen permintaan dan penawaran perlu diperangi habis-habisan. - BERNAMA
