PEN’s Writers in Prison Committee
For 79 years, PEN International has acted on behalf of writers who have been unjustly silenced, imprisoned and/or tortured because they had the nerve to put pen to paper and shine a light on the injustices they observed and could not be silent about.

Zheng Yichun: Cutting The Devil’s Tail
For any advocate of free speech such as Du Daobin, this “literary inquisition” by “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” remains a Sword of Damocles that can fall on any of us anywhere and at anytime. It is first and foremost an extermination order delivered by the Chinese Communist Party against the free thought and free expression of the Chinese people, and a merciless and despicable declaration of war by the Communist Fascist tyranny against the historical course of China’s modernization!
