As a human who happens to write, I most of all love to write in support of human rights. It’s the worthiest possible cause. It puts me in the best possible company. And it gives me at least a grain of hope that I can help right some human wrongs.

It also reminds me how fortunate I am, as a citizen of a relatively free country, to enjoy the right to write in comparative safety - unlike fellow writers in so many countries around the world who constantly put their liberty and even their lives on the line.
