How do we know the information PEN gets and gives is accurate?
Year-round, International PEN checks for updates on existing cases of incarcerated prisoners. It releases a biannual Writers in Prison to reflect these updates, which include newly imprisoned, detained, released or deceased writers. The Writers in Prison Committee gathers its information from a wide variety of sources. It seeks to confirm its information through two independent sources. Where its information is unconfirmed, it will either take not action, or send an appeal worded to reflect the fact that the information is as yet incomplete. Sources include press reports, reports form individuals in the region in question, reports from other human rights groups PEN members themselves, embassy officials, academics, prisoners’ families, lawyers and friends, and exile groups. It also works with international NGOs, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. It is a founder member of IFEX – the International Freedom of Expression Exchange. IFEX is a collaborative, on-line service
