This is not in the US, so the US concept of free speech does not apply (the law is much more complex in common-law based jurisdictions)
Yes the US "free speech above all else" interpretation of "right to free speech" doesn't apply in many countries, but the US is also (mostly) a common law system. It's the particular judical interpreation of "right to free speech" in USA and other countries, not the common-law-ness, that's the main difference.
