DEN FÆNGSLEDE FORFATTERS DAG

 

Kære medlemmer, kolleger og venner af PEN,

Den 15. November  markerede PEN-centre verden over Fængslede forfatteres Dag.

Fængslede forfatteres Dag er en årlig, international markering til støtte for og anerkendelse af kolleger, der gør modstand mod undertrykkende regimers krænkelser af deres basale ret til ytringsfrihed, og som udsættes for trusler og angreb, fordi de hævder retten til at indsamle og dele informationer.

Igen i år vil vi sætte fokus på et antal konkrete sager, fordelt på fem geografiske regioner, som er repræsentative for de typer af angreb og trusler mod kolleger, som vi ser rundt om i verden:

 

Reeyot Alemu (Ethiopia): political columnist who has been held incommunicado and without charge since her arrest on 21st of June 2011. Ms. Alemu is believed to be detained under Ethiopia’s sweeping 2009 antiterrorism law.  Susana Chavez (Mexico): poet and human rights activist who was murdered on 6 January 2011 in an attack many have claimed was the result of her writing and activism.  Tashi Rabten (Tibet): poet and essayist, convicted of inciting separatism for a collection of political articles he wrote concerning the suppression of the March 2008 protests in Lhasa. Abdul-Jalil Al-Singace (Bahrain): activist and online blogger who has been sentenced to life imprisonment for publicising the deteriorating human rights situation in his home country.  Nadim Sener and Ahmet Shik (Turkey): journalists who have been detained for writing books and articles disclosing police and other high level links to individuals arrested in the Ergenekon case under which over 200 people are accused of being involved in coup plots.

 

Flere oplysninger om de enkelte sager kan findes på PEN International’s webside: www.internationalpen.dk

Dagen bruges også til at mindes de 34 andre skribenter, der er myrdet siden 15. november 2010. Se længere nede:

 

 

Marian Botsford Frasier, der er forkvinde for Writers in Prison-komiteen, skriver i anledning af dagen:

Today is the 30th annual PEN International Day of the Imprisoned Writer. When I was in Stockholm a year ago for Swedish PEN’s annual event, I was told by someone that the Day of the Imprisoned Writer was proposed to PEN in 1981 by one of our esteemed presidents, Arthur Miller. Over thirty years, it‘s become a date that many PEN centres use to raise awareness, fundraise; it’s a date on which prizes are announced, a day on which PEN members come together with friends and supporters to mark the two central enterprises of PEN, promoting literature and defending freedom of expression.

As always, the WiPC staff has prepared background materials and a news release, highlighting current emblematic cases from the casebook; click here to see this year’s list. Some centres choose one or more of these cases for their own events; other centres use November 15 as a key public date in ongoing work on behalf of honorary members.

This year, because of recent disturbing events in Turkey, including the detention of publisher Ragip Zarakolu, among others, some centres are focusing on Turkey, and several are working together, with our colleagues from IPA, on a Turkey strategy. Norwegian PEN President, Anders Heger, has written a terrific op-ed about Ragip, who has many friends in PEN centres around the world; read here.
