Graphic by PEN America highlighting the imprisonment of Vietnamese writers Le Huu Minh Tuan, Pham Chi Dung, and Nguyen Tuong Thuy for expressing their views, with a focus on violations of free expression rights in Vietnam. The poster is red with white and black text, featuring the PEN America logo at the bottom.
