About ICORN
ICORN International Cities of Refuge Network is an independent, international membership organisation, established to offer persecuted writers a safe haven where they can write and express themselves freely, without fear of being censored or silenced.
Beginning in Europe in 2006, now more than 40 cities and regions around the world have joined together in ICORN, offering shelter to persecuted writers from Europe, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. The network is growing and welcoming new member cities from around the world. Cooperating with sister networks world wide, our aim is to make a real difference in the on-going global struggle for freedom of expression.
