UN expert: Freedom of expression and media freedom under threat in Hungary
Irene Kahn, the United Nations expert on the protection of freedom of speech and freedom of expression, has recently visited Hungary to conduct a report about the country’s current situation concerning her area of expertise.
According to Euronews, Irene Khan has met several government institutions, civil rights organisations, news journalists, scientists, and activists fighting against discrimination and violence towards those with gender issues. Irene Khan will finalise her report to the United Nations’ Human Rights Council in June 2022, but she has already shared some of her findings on the Internet.
“The interferences from the Hungarian Government in the past decade into the media sector, the hatred incited by politics and the ‘toxic environment’ they have created could pose a serious threat to the upcoming elections” – Irene highlighted at the end of her visit to Hungary.

According to Telex, Irene Khan has warned the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and its principal institution, the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), to keep close attention on the Hungarian media before the 2022 elections. According to Khan, the “Government tried to stifle differing opinions, undermine the credibility of civil society and weaken the protection of human rights”. Khan said that the Hungarian Government used political decisions and measures to interfere with the media and the information flow.
“There should be no monopoly of information in a democracy.” – Khan said.
The rapporteur also raised her voice about the ongoing hate-mongering against migrants as well as against journalists and right defenders who support asylum seekers and members of the LGBTQ community.
Euronews reported that Irene Khan asked Hungarian authorities to grant editorial freedom and freedom to access information sources. She also asked them to pay more attention to the independence of regulating bodies and the distortions of the media outlets.
Irene Khan proposed that the political parties should have equal access to news channels during the election. In this way, voters would find it easier to access information about the different campaigns of each parties.

What this article is really about is the UN and their globalist agenda not being accepted by the People and Government of Hungary. The UN wants to encourage the LBGTQ agenda, they want to destroy the family, they want to destroy belief in God,they want to control every human on the planets every thought and movement and they want 90% of the planets people exterimanted. I have lived in several other countries besides Hungary and at this time Hungary is one of the most free nations regarding speech and expression of dissent by those with differing points of view. Personally the UN is nothing but a globalist mouthpiece for the Marxist who want a tyrannical one world government. NO THANKS, Individualism and pride in ones heritage should be encouraged not oppressed as the UN would pursue with a vengeance if they had their way.
When, as it happens in Hungary, 90 % of news outlets is, in a way or in another, in the hands of the regime, then freedom of media is not under threat but, in fact, almost dead.
If Irene Khan tried to tell her Muslim people in Bangladesh about freedom of press and human rights, they would chop her head off in no time.
We don’t need lectures about freedom of press and human rights from anyone, especially not from her. She should concentrate on the incredible oppressive conditions in her own country. How about doing something about female genital mutilation and forced child marriages in her own Muslim world?
The people of her own country would be happy to enjoy the freedoms we enjoy in Hungary. We have free press, security and free elections. People of Bangladesh have none of that.
I am 85 years old and I will continue to take my dog for long walks in my small town as long as my health holds out. I am safe to do it in Hungary. Irene Kahn, you try it in your own country or some of the no-go zones in the West and try not to get murdered or raped by your own people. Waiting for your report.
Take a look at the cover photo. An estimated 300 to 500 thousand Hungarians filled the streets of Budapest on October 23, 2021. It was an awesome show of support for Hungary’s government.
The West supported, anti-Hungarian opposition had only about 3 to 5 thousand supporters. It was laughable. The April election will be decided by the Hungarian people. Not the corrupt West.
What the proponents of the Soros-bought EU’s anti-Hungary movement are saying is that one party in power should finance the views of the opposition party. One party, the winner, should support the medias of the opposing party and even pay for that support.
What they are saying is that it is unfair that the party they don’t like won. And the Hungarian People who voted for that party won.
But these people never liked Hungarians anyway. They are the descendants of those who were complicit in parting Hungary from its territories after WWI.
It is even more unfair that these Hungarians won three times by an overwhelming majority behind the democratic will of the Hungarian People. The Democratic elections accordingly, violate the rule of law. Laws the EC made up on the fly over which they rule.
The fact that one only has to go on the Internet to find the global media, easily 90% plus, filled with anti-Hungary articles (I would call it bias, hatred, offense, posison), is all the evidence one needs to unpack the lies of the opportunistic and parasitic opposition that found it expedient to ally with neo-Nazis and white supremacists just to gain power.

But it’s hardly surprising, Nazism and Socialism are two sides of the very same coin.
In fact, the word socialist is in Hitler’s party’s name!: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.
Also note: These are the same people who mob into the streets at the first sign of Israeli self-defense.
Whatever is not to their liking, is FAKE NEWS.
Their hatreds, bias, vile antisemitism and racism, is however, REAL.
And not NEWS to those who understand resentment and envy and the hatred of better people – meaning the Hungarians and the Israelis.
Mike Hall speaks the truth.
Irene Khan is a third-world feminist shill who has a chip on her shoulder when it comes to those who disagree with her woke policies. She is typical of the bloated power-hungry UN bureaucracy telling the world how to live.
Irene Khan just appals me what she writes.
Commentators give quality examples that highlight that she has the situation(s) she comments on WRONG.
Don’t try to “muddy our waters” with CRAP – Irene Khan.
Take a look AGAIN & AGAIN – History – never Lies, the place and region of the world, that you Irene Khan “hailed” from – for highly possible reason(s) – to LIVE – get out of and away, escape from – for a Freer Life.
You – if you could look left and right and straight ahead and behind – hold your head high – without Political Agendas – you carry in your hand bag, you would be best served attempting to play a positive role in communicating – FACT – what acts of crime against humanity over History that have continue to occur in the country and region of the globe – you where born.
Hungary – we have Freedom & Liberty – under Democracy.
Irene Khan – the narrow and wrongful mindless comments you make of Hungary, highlights a FACT – that you fail to see, the changes of the world, post February 2020 – that countries under Democratic Governments – that they are “embracing” – that Democracy – continues to EVOLVE & Transform it-self.
Idiotic and DANGEROUS – the comments you write on Hungary – your tone & style – that is void of fact and substance, that confirms the “set up” role you are playing for the United Nations and “others.”
Dunno what the problem is, or is it the fact the truth hurts!
