A new free speech movement set on “reimagining the public square” was launched in the UK on Sunday following recent concerns over freedom of expression in the country.
Launched by a group of university students and recent graduates, the Free Speech Champions initiative “aims to inspire the next generation about the importance of free speech,” the group’s founding director, Inaya Folarin Iman wrote on Twitter.
