Earlier this year on http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85907 , her name had joined a growing list of
women writers under threat, which included women from Iran, China, Tibet, the Ukraine and
Ethiopia.

All the cases are ongoing and monitored by the Women's Unions, Human Right's Watch and Amnesty.
That article contains links and biographies of the Women.

Lydia Cacho's Independent publications include:

'The Devils of Eden'

She works as a freelance for 'La voz de la Caribe', (a Local paper), on corruption in Politics.

I can join my colleagues in the PEN Women Writer's Committee in extending Congragulations to Her.
