Freedom is reflected in thinking, speaking out, in actions, and in behaviour. The right to the freedom of speech and to the free expression of opinions has come to form part of the catalogue of rights of every human being. This right is guaranteed by international documents with both a universal, and a regional reach, and also by countries’ constitutions, for example, the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The aforementioned documents also impose restrictions upon the right to the freedom of speech and to the free expression of opinions for the purpose of ensuring public safety and order, and also for the purpose of protecting the environment, health and public morality, or the freedom and the rights of other people. Respecting the right to the freedom of speech and to the free expression of opinions constitutes a reflection of acknowledging human rights by the state. It lays the foundations of a democratic country. At the same time, the said right allows every human being for self-realisation. However, not all countries in the world abide by this rule. Also, not all citizens find the model of a democratic country appealing, which is why abuse ensues, threatening religious, national and personal security.
