Trykkefrihedsselskabet (Danish Free Press Society) is a Danish non-governmental organization founded in 2004 by journalist Lars Hedegaard to defend and promote freedom of expression. The society emerged in response to growing concerns over censorship and self-censorship in public discourse, particularly regarding topics such as Islam, immigration, and multiculturalism. It advocates for unrestricted debate and has positioned itself as a counterforce to perceived threats from political correctness and ideological pressures. The organization operates a publishing house called Trykkefrihedsselskabets Bibliotek, which specializes in books and materials critical of Islam and related issues, and presents an annual Sappho Award to individuals who have significantly contributed to free speech defense. By 2010, it had approximately 800 members and has been involved in high-profile controversies, including the 2010 trial of Hedegaard for hate speech related to comments on child abuse in Muslim communities, which the society framed as an assault on free expression. Critics have accused Trykkefrihedsselskabet of promoting Islamophobic views and right-wing extremism, leading to its classification by some as a far-right group, though the organization insists on its commitment to classical liberal values of open discourse. It maintains an active presence in Danish media and political debates, with institutional ties including membership involving Anders Gravers, and continues to engage in events, publications, and legal advocacy to support its mission.
