World Association of Newspapers: International PEN Launches PEN Poem Relay Ahead of Olympics

International PEN Launches PEN Poem Relay Ahead of Olympics
WAN (World Association of Newspapers)
25 March 2008

"...'Translators and poets at PEN centres around the world are using the spirit of the Olympics to bring to life Shi Tao's message in the languages of the world,' said Eugene Schoulgin, International Secretary of International PEN. 'As the poem spreads from language to language, we spread our concern for freedom of expression in China and the writers who are languishing in its jails.'"
