It means to put a judicial or legislative restraint on someone's right to say what he wants. A sedition law that makes criticism of a war illegal (as the US had in WWI) is an abridgement of the freedom of speech. The laws in many Muslim countries that prohibit the criticism of the government or rejection of Islam would abridge the freedom of speech.
