Day of the Imprisoned Writer 2011 - Campaign Report
PEN International’s Writers in Prison Committee (WiPC) | 15 December 2011
Dear colleagues,
As many of you will be aware, on 15 November 2011 PEN International marked the 30th Annual Day of the Imprisoned Writer, a day of action to recognise and support writers who have resisted repression of the basic right to freedom of expression.
PEN’s members from around the world commemorated the day with a huge variety of advocacy and campaigning activities, ranging from public demonstrations to press conferences, award ceremonies, poetry readings, theatre events and letter writing sessions, to name just a few.
To find out more about activities and events run by PEN centres and members around the world, please see our report: http://www.pen-international.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Report-on-Centre-Activities.pdf
Unfortunately it has not been possible to highlight the activities of all PEN Centres in this summary report. We would therefore also like to take this opportunity to thank all Centres who were involved in advocacy to mark the Day.
All the best,
Paul
