Scottish PEN joins 18 organisations in a call for justice, three years on from the assassination of investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia.

The Justice Committee has today published the Stage 1 report on the Defamation and Malicious Publications (Scotland) Bill. Scottish PEN welcomes the report but highlights the need to progress a one-year limit on bringing defamation action.

The Scottish Black Writers Group is a new writers group facilitated by Scottish BAME Writers Network Co-Director Dean Atta, and in association with Scottish PEN. It is a monthly event open to writers across the UK and Ireland who are Black/from the African diaspora, including people of mixed heritage.

Scottish PEN has joined with English PEN, PEN International and several other centres to support a statement on the issue of online harassment.
