** Fifty years of Index: Our founders' vision and the work still to be done
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed] years ago this week, four extraordinary people signed our charitable deeds founding Index on Censorship – the poet Stephen Spender, the royal biographer Elizabeth Longford, the philosopher and author Stuart Hampshire, and wartime codebreaker and historian Peter Calvocoressi.
Their vision was clear – we were to be a voice for the persecuted, providing a home for dissident writers, scholars and artists and to shine a light on the actions of repressive regimes. Work still needs to be done, writes our CEO Ruth Smeeth ([link removed])
