Amnesty International - Write for Rights

http://write.amnestyusa.org/

Yesterday at my local chapter of the Ethical Humanist Society we wrote letters for this year's Amnesty International - Write for Rights campaign. The case of Phyoe Phyoe Aung stood out to me, but there are many others as well. Please take a few minutes to review the cases and write some letters.

Phyoe Phyoe Aung was arrested after organizing a largely peaceful protest in Myanmar, during which police attacked students with batons. She and scores of others now face lengthy jail terms. To prove that it has left its brutal past behind, the Myanmar government must release these Prisoners of Conscience now. Write a short letter to the President of Myanmar urging the immediate and unconditional release of Phyoe Phyoe Aung and all the students jailed for protesting peacefully. After you've written that letter, please also take a moment to draw a solidarity picture for Phyoe Phyoe, letting her know that you are taking action for her human rights. All the information you'll need can be found in the case sheet and sample letter below.
