Abstract(s)
A honra é uma importante manifestação da dignidade humana que deve ser
protegida, mas não a qualquer custo. A intervenção do Direito Criminal para a
salvaguarda da honra pode ter consequências devastadoras na ideia de comunicação livre
e desinibida, tendo em conta a gravidade das penas que lhe estão associadas. Penas de
prisão e qualquer forma de proteção acrescida a figuras públicas representam ameaças à
liberdade de expressão e, nessa medida, fragilidades do nosso sistema criminal.
