According to the American PEN Association's most recent report, the number of writers behind bars has risen for the sixth year in a row, with "China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia" leading the way in terms of freedom of expression violations.

The report, which was released on April 24, 2025, states that 375 authors from 40 countries were imprisoned this year, up from 339 in the previous report.

With 118 imprisoned writers, China continues to hold the title of largest writer's prison in the world, according to the new "Freedom of Writing Index," while Iran comes in second with 43.

However, 13 of the writers imprisoned in Iran are women, making the country the world leader in the imprisonment of women writers.
