*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***

The State We're In - Midweek Edition rings in the new year by introducing you people around the world who have put themselves in danger to improve the lives of those around them.

To start the show we talk to an award-winning journalist from Uzbekistan, a woman helping rape victims in Congo and a blogger from Myanmar sentenced to 65 years in prison for publicising protests against the military regime.

We also profile the work of the British lawyer Clive Stafford Smith, the very vocal defendant of inmates at the American detention centre in Guantanamo Bay.

'Coma' - by Herman Brusselmans

Belgian author Herman Brusselmans was a librarian before becoming a full-time writer. He has written over 40 books - many of them best-sellers - including a novel called 'Autobiography of Someone Else'.

His short story 'Coma' begins: "I'm such a famous writer. After all, I'm Herman Brusselmans..." And so the comic adventures of the famous writer are revealed.
