PEN International Writers in Prison Committee Case List 2013 by PEN International

PEN International promotes literature and freedom of expression and is governed by the PEN Charter and the principles it embodies: unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations. Founded in 1921, PEN International connects an international community of writers from its Secretariat in London. It is a forum where writers meet freely to discuss their work; it is also a voice speaking out for writers silenced in their own countries.

When the Writers in Prison Committee of PEN International was formed in 1960, we were a committee of three individuals campaigning on behalf of 56 imprisoned writers, in Albania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, France and Romania. The Committee itself now comprises more than 70 PEN centres, and the 2013 WiPC case list contains the names of more than 900 writers, journalists, publishers, editors, bloggers under threat in every region of the world. For more than twenty years, the WiPC has published a formal case list, usually updating it every six months. The case list is the bible for PEN's freedom of expression work on behalf of individual writers. It is an invaluable research tool for centres who look to the case list for accurate information on each case. It is also a valued historical document, the record of our work over decades in some of the world's most repressive regimes. The case list is not only a catalogue of names; it is an account of charges, imputed crimes and sentences: defamation, splittism, terrorism, incitement, disturbing public order, subversion of state powers, insulting the state, the people, the King, the Sultan, the religious leaders, "waging war against God." We know that the officials in many countries pay attention to the case list, those responsible for threatening, incarcerating and killing writers, and also officials in the countries of PEN centres who are working on cases or have adopted individuals from the case list as honorary members. So it is essential that we are as precise and accurate as possible. Over the past year, we have looked in detail at the categorisations and the format of the entries in the case list, and have made considerable effort to make the approach standard across all the regions. In cases where we became aware of releases or deaths of individual writers at the time of preparation of the entries, that information was added in square brackets at the end. However, there have subsequently been releases which are not reflected in these entries, so please do check with our research staff for the latest information on any individual case. But freedom of expression work is not static. Especially in the digital age, information comes in literally every minute, the story changes, the danger shifts. When PEN began its defence of imprisoned writers, the crimes were texts, written, published, printed, a poem, an essay, a novel. In 2013, almost half of the transgressions for which writers were punished were fragments of digital information, a Tweet, a file sent electronically, an email caught in the relentless surveillance routinely undertaken by both regimes and democracies. So we are moving to a different system for building the case list, over the next few years. An annual list like this one for 2013 will stand as a permanent record, but it will be supplemented by a more dynamic online database, which can be updated frequently, and which will allow us much more scope to analyse the wealth of information captured in the case list which will inform and improve our campaigning. One of the fundamental principles in PEN's work is the naming of names. The WiPC case list has been, for thousands of individuals over almost sixty years, the document that says: this person exists, this person is not forgotten.

Between August and December 2011, the following activists, bloggers and citizen journalists, most of them members of the Catholic organisation Congregation for the Holy Redeemer, were arrested by the Vietnamese authorities, after attending a training course in Bangkok held by the banned Viet Tan political party; which, according to Human Rights Watch, currently works for peaceful political reform, democracy and human rights in Viet Nam. The group of 13 were initially charged and later prosecuted in one of the biggest trials in Viet Nam under Article 79 of the Criminal Code for ‘carrying out activities aimed at overthrowing the people’s administration’. The criminal activities the group are said to have engaged in include writing commentaries that are critical of the Government and distributing them on the internet, as well as participating in and encouraging peaceful protest. On 9 January 2013, the People’s Court of Nghe An province sentenced the activists to terms of up to 13 years in prison.

The KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union), is the alleged ‘urban wing’ of the outlawed PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party), which has been engaged in armed conflict with the Turkish army since 1984. The various waves of this investigation have targeted Kurdish and Turkish civilians with pro-Kurdish sympathies, including politicians, lawyers, human rights defenders, academics, translators, researchers, publishers, journalists and writers. Each investigation is aimed at targeting a separate alleged ‘wing’ of the organisation, such as the ‘committee of leadership’ (46 of the 50 under trial in this wave are lawyers), the ‘political wing’ (including publishers, academics and translators alongside politicians) and the ‘press wing’ (which implicates 44 journalists). The Ergenekon investigation attempts to uncover an alleged, clandestine, ultranationalist organisation engaged in the plotting of a military-backed overthrow of the government. The early waves of this investigation largely targeted members of security and intelligence forces, as well as investigative journalists with alleged relationships to them. One of the latter waves of the investigation implicated online news outlet ODATV in the conspiracy, as well as a number of investigative journalists writing about the alleged infiltration of the police and judiciary by members of the liberal Islamic ‘Gülen Movement’

This list indicates those persons whose cases are linked to either the Ergenekon or KCK investigations. Where there is no reference to either, these are cases which are not known to be linked to either investigation.

The following cases are of writers and journalists indicted in the Ergenekon case, see above. There are concerns regarding lack of fair trial and in some cases extremely lengthy pre-trial detentions. PEN is not in a position to comment on the charges against them. It is calling for the release of those who are detained pending an appeal hearing. It urges that further judicial hearings are carried out in accordance to international standards of fairness.

Since February 2011, when widespread protests erupted calling for an end to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, the human rights situation in Syria has continued to deteriorate and has evolved into an internal armed conflict across the country. Tens of thousands of individuals in Syria have been arrested, often arbitrarily, in conditions amounting to enforced disappearance. They include writers and journalists. Some have been referred to the AntiTerrorism Court in Damascus, which began work in September 2012. Torture and other illtreatment in prison are believed to have caused or contributed to the deaths of many if not

most of the 1,300 individuals reported to have died in custody since March 2011. The real death toll is likely to be much higher. At the beginning of the uprising, the Syrian authorities imposed a media blackout in an effort to hinder the reporting of impartial news from the ground. This blackout paved the way for the emergence of a citizen journalism movement, as an alternative media, with individuals reporting what is actually happening on a daily basis. This new media is being operated mainly by young men and women. Syrian citizen journalists have been particularly targeted for attack by the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces. Since March 2011, more than 200 citizen journalists have been killed either by snipers from the security forces or under torture. Dozens who have done nothing more than to witness, report, film, and photograph acts of violence have been arrested and many have been subjected to enforced disappearance. Writers and journalists are also amongst those at risk of political and sectarian violence from government forces, progovernment militias and armed opposition groups, both in Syria and neighbouring countries.

PEN International promotes literature and freedom of expression and is governed by the PEN Charter and the principles it embodies: unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations. Founded in 1921, PEN International connects an international community of writers from its Secretariat in London. It is a forum where writers meet freely to discuss their work; it is also a voice speaking out for writers silenced in their own countries.
