"PEN Canada is a charitable, non-governmental organization committed to defending freedom of opinion and the peaceable expression of such opinion, as guaranteed by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It campaigns on behalf of writers around the world persecuted for the expression of their thoughts," said designer Jim Ryce. "This year, the PEN Canada annual report theme 'Impunity: Getting away with murder' tells the story of one lawyer's investigation into the serial killings of five Iranian journalists who lost their lives for publishing a report on freedom of expression in Iran."
