Writers at Risk Advocacy

PEN America fights to protect writers, journalists, and artists around the world who are jailed, threatened, or attacked for their writing. They track over 375 writers in prison across 40 countries, with China and Iran being the worst. The campaign includes research reports, advocacy efforts, and petitions to free imprisoned writers. They offer ways to take action, like signing petitions for specific writers and supporting the #FreeNarges campaign for Nobel Prize winner Narges Mohammadi. The campaign aims to defend freedom of expression and help writers who face danger for telling the truth.
