PEN International’s report Identity on Trial: Persecution and Resistance – its Case List 2025, highlights the persecution of writers based on their identity. It documents the alarming rise in censorship, imprisonment, and threats faced by writers due to their gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. It underscores a disturbing global trend: those who dare express their identity or challenge dominant narratives are being silenced through legal threats, censorship, and violence.
