Each year during Banned Books Week, Amnesty International draws attention to people around the world who have been imprisoned, threatened, or murdered because of what they wrote or published or because of their work in the publishing or media industries. In solidarity with the American Library Association (ALA) and organizations across the U.S. and around the world, Amnesty activists work to fight challenges to freedom of expression. For Banned Books Week 2020, we are highlighting seven of the many hundreds of cases worldwide where the freedom of writers and journalists are endangered. Banned Books Week 2020 is September 27 – October 3, join us!
