Situasjonen i #Afghanistan er kaotisk, uforutsigbar og farlig. Norsk PEN krever at Norge:
- beskytter det afghanske sivilsamfunnet og frie ytrere
- legger press på #Taliban for å sikre at menneskerettighetene respekteres, bl.a. gjennom #UNSC. @Utenriksdept

Norsk PEN fordømmer angrep på mediehus i Gaza!

Styreleder @LokenStavrum påpeker at #journalister og mediefolk må beskyttes så de kan gjøre jobben sin; dokumentere og spre informasjon om grusomhetene som nå finner sted i #Gaza.

Ciham Ali turns 24 this month. She has been detained in secret for over 8 years.

No one knows where she is.

Her family have not seen or heard from her since 2012. This shouldn't be her fate.
