PEN International calls for Ahmed Douma’s immediate and unconditional release and for all charges against him to be dropped. PEN also calls for the release of all writers, poets, HRDs, activists and critics who are being arbitrary detained, or wrongly convicted following unfair trials solely for practising the right to freedom of expression.
Today we share extracts of Douma’s banned poem “Curly”, which he wrote during years of solitary confinement. Share Douma’s poetry today, and call for his immediate release: https://pen-international.org/news/prison-writing-by-ahmed-douma
