A big thank you to the organisers of the Silent Book Club - Harare for putting together such an exciting event!

The event kicked off with a session of silent, individual reading, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in a world of literature. Afterward, participants had the chance to unwind, network, swap book recommendations, and #Write4Rights!

By writing letters, signing petitions and sharing stories, you can make change happen. People have been freed, achieved justice, and have felt the solidarity from others around the world through difficult periods of their lives.

That’s what real letters can do: bring hope to people in the direst of situations. When letters arrive in huge numbers, they are also an unmistakable reminder to prison authorities and others that the world is watching.

We urge the authorities to thoroughly investigate these attacks and ensure that students are able to exercise their freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and organize without fear of reprisals, intimidation, or torture.

These attacks threaten not just freedoms of assembly, expression and association, but also the rights to education, non-discrimination, academic freedom, and participation in university public life.
