The aim of this event is to have a nuanced, balanced and compassionate dialogue on the concept of freedom of speech in light of the unfortunate Charlie Hebdo incident in Paris last month.

The event will feature a cross-panel discussion on the topics of freedom of speech, satirising religion, limits of the press and other related themes.

The event will be chaired by veteran journalist Yvonne Ridley, who is no stranger to delving into controversial and topical subjects.

She will be joined for the evening by:

• Moazzam Begg – Former Guantanamo Bay detainee & Director of Outreach for CAGE

• Dan Hodges – Blogger and Columnist for The Telegraph
• Andre Walker – Political Correspondent for Breitbart London
