CAIRO- Freedom of opinion, expression and access to information are constitutional entitlements that need the establishment of ethical, social, legal and national frameworks to preserve the safety of society, participants in the Human Rights and Public Liberties Committee of the National Dialogue said Sunday.
Member of the National Council for Human Rights Moushira Khattab said the right to freedom of expression is linked to the right to obtain information and the right of journalists to get protection.
Freedom of opinion, expression, and access to information is a constitutional entitlement. Laws complementary to the constitution must be issued in this regard, she added.
Head of the Media Syndicate and Senate member Tarek Saada said that the Egyptian Constitution established several articles stipulating freedom of opinion and expression.
Freedom of opinion is an inherent right, but under several controls, including boundaries separating freedom from chaos, he added.
