“When another writer in another house is not free, no writer is free.”
Every year on November 15 PEN International launches its Day of the Imprisoned Writer campaign, highlighting the cases of writers around the globe who are imprisoned or facing prosecution and calling for urgent international action to release and protect them. Free speech and a free press are treasured features of any society, and writers often serve as the link between truth and lies.

I know I’m running late with this, but it’s Banned Books Week, the annual commemoration of free speech and free press.

All writers and bloggers should always stand up to any kind of censorship. Remember, no one – absolutely no one – has the right to select what you can and cannot read!
