Join Scottish PEN, Irish PEN//PEN na hÉireann and guests as we share poetry readings and updates on the case of renowned Indian poet, Varavara Rao.

As PEN Centres we wish to highlight the case of renowned Indian poet, Varavara Rao, to all those who care about the defense of freedom of expression for writers. We call for all charges to be dropped against Rao, and hope that you will join our campaign to ensure his freedom.

We join with writers and organisations around the world to express concern about the impending imprisonment of Scottish writer and blogger Craig Murray on a sentence of eight months.

Join the Scottish PEN Writers in Exile Committee and a variety of published writers as we hear readings from PENning magazine.
