Go Bjork! Love you girl! Protect Iceland it is one of the most beautiful countries i have ever been in my life! xxx

Icelandic is always in the top 10 list of countries with the most freedom in journalism and publicity. Whether it's Bjork opposing the sale or its citizen stands out for their rights, Iceland often writes about them. I love Iceland. I feel bad living in Malaysia.

By the way: my Icelandic isn't really that good, but as I can see, she doesn't read it in the order it is written in the list, I guess

[Crizzey82]

She just read an extract from a list of critical questions to the Icelandic government, which was also sent to the parliament. You can read it both in Icelandic and in English on Björk's website.
