PEN Event
King's Arms, Castle Douglas 7.30pm Sunday 20 March - free admission
Scottish Pen South West is joining Worldwide readings being held on behalf of Chinese writer Liu Xiaobo. Come and hear the work of this remarkable writer in the convivial surrounds of the Kings Arms, hosted by Liz Niven and PEN friends. Music makers welcome too – bring a song or a tune along.
Liu Xiaobo is currently the world’s only winner of the Nobel Peace Prize still held in detention. In 2009, after co-authoring ‘Charter 08’, a manifesto calling for greater freedoms and democracy in China, Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to eleven years in prison on a spurious charge of “inciting subversion of state power”.
