 | | The campaign will conclude with a PEN report on the problem of why violations against free speech go unpunished and a series of public programs during International PEN's 69th World Congress of Writers in Mexico City in November. |
 | | "Unsolved and unpunished crimes aimed at silencing writers and journalists not only deny those individuals their universally guaranteed right to express themselves freely, but also abridge the collective right of the citizens of their society to share ideas and information," said Isobel Harry, Executive Director of PEN Canada, which is directing the campaign. |
