About
An afternoon on the rising threats to free expression faced by writers, journalists and the public, hosted by Oliver Bullough with Dean Atta, Catherine Belton, Fadi Itani and Monique Roffey. Indira Varma and others read from targeted work, as the guests discuss legal pressure, state overreach, closures of bank accounts and lawfare, and what can be done in response.
