Tomorrow, September 28, is the 8th annual International Right to Know Day.

Although you may not (in fact a safer bet is that you probably won't)
see, read or hear much about International Right to Know Day in
India's mainstream media, over 40 nations around the globe will be
taking part in activities designed to promote the need for open and
transparent governments and the need for effective Freedom of
Information legislation.

On this day in 2002, Freedom of Information organisations meeting in
Sofia, Bulgaria, decided to create a coalition known as the Freedom of
Information Advocates Network who agreed to promote transparency as a
fundamental pillar of democracy on the world stage.

This network now has a growing number of civil society and
non-governmental groups like in Africa's Sierra Leone , Kenya ,
Nigeria ,Uganda ,Namibia in America's Canada , USA ,Panama , Mexico ,
Jamaica , Venezuela , Colombia , Peru , Chile , Argentina
in Asia's Pakistan ,India ,Bangladesh ,Malaysia in Europe's Spain ,
Morocco ,Montenegro , Serbia , United Kingdom ,Slovenia ,Bosnia and
