Picture of Freedom of Expression In Turkey Today

PEN International WiPC | 19 April 2012


To All PEN Writers in Prison Committees


Many of you who have worked on Turkish issues over the years will know of our colleague, Sanar Yurdatapan, head of the Istanbul-based Antenna freedom of expression project that has staged numerous events with PEN Centre participation over the years. The next event will be on 9 June and Sanar has requested that I send the following message to you all. Sanar is a) requesting your help in getting well known writers to support their colleagues in Turkey, and b) an invitation to attend the Gathering. See documents attached.
