Freedom of Speech - Whose?

(Cross-posted on the CHAFF Blog.)


Annikki's new book is being released today.

Titled "Freedom of Speech - Whose?", it is a collection of her submissions to the local newspaper, Kaleva, over the last two years, who have ignored her powerful voice on several major issues, as she speaks the truth.



Out of 42 messages submitted by her, 34 were not published by the newspaper.

Last year, the newspaper asked for readers to submit their opinions on this subject. Annikki wrote a piercing piece, which was ignored by the newspaper.

From this Annikki got the idea to publish the text messages she has submitted to the newspaper which were not published.

She leaves it to the reader to decide whether she was censored, ignored, or whether her submissions were not worthy of publication.

As the newspaper and the local national radio station have organised a London Hyde Park style Speakers Corner in the main Otto Karhi Park in Oulu for today, I will talk on the subject of Freedom of Speech, Corruption and other matters, between 11 am and 1 pm.

Unfortunately Annikki cannot be there as she will be engaged in looking after her mother at that time.

The book, in Finnish, which will be only available from us, can be ordered from Annikki at

The price is Euro 15 including packing and postage. Payment can be made to the following bank account:

Nordea 249818-69968

with the Message stating: Sananvapaus - kenen?
