From the mass arrests of journalists and reform advocates to the violent suppression of peaceful demonstrations to the draconian restrictions on international and domestic media, it has been a harrowing summer for many of our colleagues in Iran—and an extremely discouraging one for all who support their right, and the right of all Iran’s citizens, to speak and write freely.
PEN is working to win the release of all writers and journalists currently in prison in Iran, and to bring the voices of our Iranian colleagues before international audiences.
Please join us in our efforts.
