Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. While many nations allow the freedom of speech, some governments target, imprison, and even torture those who dare enter into political activism against the current regime.
This book highlights the plight of the political prisoner, also called a prisoner of conscience, from political repression to dissidence, punishment and disappearances, the work of Amnesty International, plus profiles on some notable prisoners of conscience.
Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
