Have writers been imprisoned in Australia for their work?
Most definitely and PEN has worked to have them freed. In
this history of PEN in Australia Arnold Zable tells the story of
Cheikh Kone, a journalist from the Ivory Coast who was detained
in Port Hedland and writer Behrouz Boochani detained on Manus
Island. As well as the letters members of PEN have written to
imprisoned writers around the world, like those in Myanmar, to
tell them that they are not alone.

I am a stranger to you but please know that you are no stranger
to me – Maria Tumarkin in a letter to Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an
Australian writer detained in Iran until recently.
