On 20 March more than 49 cities and centres around the world staged readings featuring poems by Liu Xiaobo to call attention to his plight and the plight of other Chinese dissidents. This event, organised by the Peter Weiss Foundation in Berlin, was marked by no fewer than five readings in Scotland, second only to Germany itself in the number staged. All four corners of Scotland - North, South, East and West - were involved, from Ullapool to Dumfriesshire. Not bad for a small nation! Our thanks to all those enthusiastic SPEN members who organised the events. To see details click on the 'Read more' button.
