World Press Freedom Day

Issued in a post-revolutionary context, this stamp is particularly symbolic. It features a hand holding a pen that breaks a chain, illustrating the end of censorship and the conquest of free speech. In the background, a dove of peace is formed by the word “Freedom of the Press” translated into many languages, all above the United Nations logo. This stamp carries a strong message: free journalism is the guarantor of democracy and social peace, a fundamental achievement for the Tunisian people in 2011.
