[Reader-list] PUT ARUNDHATI IN JAIL ON SEDITION CHARGES! HURRAH!

[Ana Valdes]

I am still apalled for the lack of sensibility and callouness of some people in this list, which I believed was an arena for important and vital discussions about Art and society.
I has been four years in prison for political reasons and I can assure the prison didn't give my writing à sharper edge, but à pain for life.
That someone in this list can wish à term in prison for à writer is beyond my imagination.
Ana, working in the Pen club since many years to take out all writers from the prisons
