Photograph of PEN members with Kurdish and Turkish writers gathered in the ancient town of Hasenkeyf, Turkey, in March 2005. Joanne Leedom-Ackerman, international secretary (2004-07) and vice-president emeritus of PEN International, can be seen standing at the front of the group wearing red; standing just behind her, to the right, is Zerdeşt Haco, president (1999-2013) and honorary president (2016-) of the Kurdish Centre.
