FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR EVERYONE
Together with Norwegian writer colleagues, Freeby writers visited high schools to talk about their experiences with persecution and what it means to be deprived of their freedom of expression, and why freedom of expression is a right that is so important to fight for.
As an important part of Norwegian PEN's national project, a total of three school performances on freedom of speech were produced in the spring of 2016, aimed at upper secondary school students. Participants in the program are Friby writers and Norwegian colleagues with a special commitment to freedom of speech.

Someone
Is standing over my head
And threatens:
Don't speak!
Someone is sitting across from me
And exhorts:
Don't speak!
Someone is lying next to me
And whispers:
Don't speak!
Someone is inside me
And frightens me:
Don't speak!
All this
Is the story of a journalist
Who doesn't speak.
