A breakthrough in the Caruana Galizia case this week, when one of the three suspects changed his plea, admitted to all charges, and was sentenced with 15 years jail. It has been over 3 years now that the Maltese journalist and anti-corruption activist was murdered by a car bomb. “An attack on the free media” according to the European Commission. Besides the Daphne Caruana case, another, completely different free speech related discussion grabbed the headlines in Europe: the incarceration of Spanish rapper Pablo Hasél exposed “Spain's free speech faultlines” according to the Guardian.
