Support Write for Rights today!
November 13th, 2010 was a great day for human rights supporters worldwide – Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize winner who has spent 15 of the last 21 years in detention, was freed.
Aung San Suu Kyi, a human rights advocate, has been the focus of immense public pressure both in her home country of Myanmar and throughout the world. Last year alone, tens of thousands of letters were sent demanding her release.
Many of those letters were sent as part of Write for Rights, Amnesty International’s Global Write-a-thon. Each year, activists from every region of the world write real letters to bring freedom to prisoners of conscience, demand justice for survivors of torture and offer hope to human rights defenders under attack.
Write for Rights 2010 begins in 2 weeks, and will focus on 12 priority cases around the world. We need your help to sustain this life-changing campaign.
