 The Rapid Action Network (RAN) was founded by the Writers in Prison Committee of International PEN in 1991. Twenty-three international PEN Centers are currently participating in the Network, which alerts volunteer members to disturbing developments affecting the welfare of writers around the globe and encourages them to respond instantly by writing an appeal and passing the information on to their contacts.
The Network notifies members via e-mail alert about the facts of a particular case as well as PEN's concerns. Members are directed to a sample appeal letter and addresses or fax numbers to which appeals should be sent. Those who sign up to receive RAN alerts are asked to respond to at least one bulletin per month.
Please indicate your first and last names in the e-mail body. A confirmation will be sent to your account once your request has been processed (usually 1-2 business days).
