Bindmans Supports the Index on Censorship
10th Annual Freedom of Expression Awards 2010
Bindmans LLP is delighted to continue its support of Index on Censorship (Index) at this year’s 10th Annual Freedom of Expression Awards through the sponsorship of the Bindmans Law and Campaigning Award. Index is Britain’s leading organisation promoting freedom of expression. The Awards honour those battling censorship, or those bringing to light stories that would otherwise be forgotten.
The Bindmans Law and Campaigning Award aims to recognise lawyers and campaigners who have fought repression or who have struggled to change political climates and perceptions, especially those who have used or established legal means to fight injustice in the field of freedom of expression. It is a subject particularly close to Bindmans with our 35 year history of promoting civil liberties and defending human rights.
The recipient for this Award for 2010 is the highly deserving Rashid Hajili, chair of the Media Rights Institute in Azerbaijan. For further details,please click on the link below to view the related Press Release:
