Index on Censorship, a periodical founded in 1972 by Writers and Scholars International, a group of writers, scholars, artists, and intellectuals concerned with the promotion of free expression, formed largely at the instigation of the Soviet dissident Pavel Litvinov and Spender. It monitors censorship throughout the world, publishing comment, analysis, testimony and reports, as well as original poetry and prose by authors many of whom are suppressed in their own countries.
