Limonov case. International PEN Position:
PEN abhors some of the comments and views attributed to Eduard Limonov which it considers to run counter to its own charter that promotes the role of literature as a means of building understanding between peoples. It distances itself from the BNP. Its concern in this case is limited to suggestions that the evidence against Limonov is biased and that he may not be given fair trial. It calls for assurances from the Russian authorities that his trial will be carried out in accordance with international standards.
