Ytringsfrihed og censur i Østafrika

Hvordan påvirker politikkerne i Østafrika ytringsfriheden?

Dansk PENs Afrika-netværk inviterer til møde om ytringsfrihed og censur i Østafrika. Kom og hør Qaali Schmidt fortælle om sine rejser til Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopien, Somalia og Zanzibar og om sine møder med FN-medarbejdere, somaliske regeringsrepræsentanter og forretningsfolk. 

”Menneskerettigheder og retten til at kunne tale frit er essentielt for mennesker, men ytringsfriheden er ofte udfordret i Afrika grundet landenes politiske og kulturelle historie”, siger Qaali Schmidt. 

Qaali Schmidt er forfatter og oversætter. Hun er uddannet cand. soc. (samfundsvidenskab) fra Aalborg Universitet.  

Qaali debuterede som forfatter i 2008 og har skrevet to fagbøger og en børnebog,  og hun er medforfatter på flere bøger. Desuden har Qaali  skrevet en novellesamling, flere monologer og et teaterstykke. Qaali vil gerne skrive flere børnebøger.
