The Committee for Free Expression (C-Libre) is a coalition of journalists and members of civil society formed in June 2001 to promote and defend Freedom of Expression and the Right to Information in Honduras.

C-Libre was created as a response to the concerns shared by a group of journalists when public and private power sectors promoted policies and mechanisms that threatened journalists' professional practice and violated the constitutional precepts that guarantee the free emission of thought.

Those of them who are part of C-Libre are convinced that in the construction of a rule of law, the existence of ethical, investigative journalism, and oversight of public management, that operates in an environment of security and free access to information, is essential and that promote a public opinion regime that enforces your Right to Information.
