CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK The Political Constitution drafted in 1949, establishes in
Art. 29: That all individuals may communicate their thoughts verbally
or in writing without any fear of censorship; however, they will
be held responsible for the abuse in the exercise of this right
and will be punished the way the law has already prescribed. It
has been established that the term ?abuse? is exclusively referring
to crimes against good name. Article 28 states that no one will
be persecuted for the expression of his ideas nor for any other
lawful act. The activities that are performed in private, that does
not disrupt the social moral character, public order, nor infringe
on any one?s rights, shall be left alone by the law.
