In discussing her role in the recent PEN Canada/IHRP project to protect Mexican journalists, the article quotes renowned author and PEN International President John Ralston Saul as saying “If you’re going to do a delegation to a place where they’re cutting the heads off of writers, she’s the person to have along.”
