"The Day of the Imprisoned Writer is intended to recognize and support writers who resist repression of the basic human right to freedom of expression and who stand up to attacks made against their right to impart information.

To mark this year’s Day of the Imprisoned Writer, PEN Canada will hold a live painting to honour 3 writers who have been persecuted or imprisoned. Artists Peru Dyer Jalea, Adrian Hayles, and Gilda Monreal will honour writers Nurmuhemmet Yasin, Eskinder Nega, and Dina Meza with their work."
