Freedom: How we lose it and how we fight back

What does it mean to be truly free? And can any of us be free until all of us are?

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Nathan Law has experienced first-hand the shocking speed with which our freedom can be taken away. As an elected politician, he was arrested simply for speaking his mind.

• He recalls the harrowing experience of lacking freedom.
• He shares the story of his father's precarious three-day escape from China in a small rowing boat.

When authoritarianism gains ground around the world, it demands our silence as the price of doing business. This poses a significant challenge to democracy everywhere.

In this passionate rallying cry, Law argues that we must act now to defend our freedom—or risk losing it forever.

"Now we all need to stand firm to defend our freedoms, to ensure truth is not determined by dictators. We are born free and as equals. As long as we believe in that, no one can take it away from us."
