This anthology of writing from prison includes names you will know. Orhan Pamuk, Turkey's first Literature Nobel Laureate who was detained for speaking in an interview about the Armenian massacre in 1915, contributes a plea for the freedom to write, as does Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under house arrest in Myanmar almost continuously since 1990. A contribution from Ken Saro-Wiwa commits to paper a premonition of his own death. Ken Saro-Wiwa was executed by the Nigerian military in 1995. You'll recognise Anna Politkovskaya's name - she was shot dead in Russia in October 2006. Few doubt that she was murdered for her fearless reporting.
