Sorry MR,
Freedom of Expression was restored by Yahapalana on 09 Jan 2015 when you were dumped in Medamulana in a Helicopter.
The Yahapalana maintained Freedom of Expression for a couple of years.
But now, I think they are running Government just like you and your brothers and your sons did.
So, why complain, my dear great leader?
