African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms Coalition: Promotion of freedom of expression a priority for Southern Africa
Freedom of expression remains Southern Africa’s most violated online right. Advocacy for the respect, recognition and promotion of freedom of expression online has been marked as a priority for digital rights activists in the region. Southern African members of the African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms (AfDec) Coalition, drawn from Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, noted this during a strategy-networking meeting held in Windhoek, Namibia on 21 September 2019.
