Traber’s speech on Ken Saro-Wiwa
Typed draft of a text by Barbara Traber titled Text, den ich ungefãhr so an der ETH (vorlas schnell im Zug entworfen), which translates to “Text that I read out at the ETH (quickly drafted on the train)”, [1995], f. 1. In this text Traber, general secretary of the Swiss German Centre (1990-2000), writes about her grief at hearing about the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and stresses the importance of fighting for cases of writers in prison. Traber notes that this text was read aloud one day before Day of The Imprisoned Writer – which is annually observed on 15 November.
