An exhibition on imprisoned writers organised by English PEN will open at Lewisham Library this week.
"Beyond Bars" highlights the work of 10 internationally-based writers imprisoned or persecuted for their views, including 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, serving an 11-year-sentence in China, and Burmese poet and comedian Zarganar, who has been given 35 years imprisonment.
The exhibition, organised to mark the 50th anniversary of PEN's Writers in Prison Committee, continues in Lewisham until 8th July.
