Dollars to doughnuts that the UN was thinking more along the line of "hospitals" not "Acta Paediatrica" when they wrote this:
Article 27
(1) Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
Scientific and medical literature is useless without doctors, medicine, and hospitals.
Invoking the images of lynching and a man in chains begging for freedom (or more likely for his life) to make a point about access to information is boorish and cruel.
PLOS should be ashamed to be associated with this point of view. This isn't censorship, it's common decency.
