There are many reasons why the Taiwan Alliance to End the Death Penalty (TAEDP) has moved its office — not only because of the threats it has received.
The media have produced some misleading reports on this. The vast majority of people are capable of calm discussion, even where opinions differ. Everyone has the right to free speech. When it involves physical threats, however, this is no longer a matter of freedom of speech. A small group of extremists should not deny others their right to public debate.
