When the international community places emphasis on the protection of freedom of speech, it generally focuses on the freedom of media and literature. International human rights organisations include repression of media and media professionals in their annual and country reports on freedom of expression. However they rarely document repression of artists or cultural workers.

Artistic expression is under pressure from many sides and it is frequently in the centre of conflicts between different interest groups.
