During Banned Books Week, Amnesty International USA pays special attention to the plight of individuals who are persecuted because of the writings that they produce, circulate or read. Six cases from around the world have been selected for this action. Between 1990 and 2007, 51 men and women whose cases have been highlighted during Banned Books Week have been released.
