More than 180 writers, including Nobel laureates Olga Tokarczuk and JM Coetzee, signed a PEN International letter to Eritrea's president demanding proof of life for 12 authors detained without communication since a 2001 government crackdown on free speech. The letter marks 25 years since the writers' disappearance.
