Amnesty International has helped to free more than 45,000 individuals imprisoned solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs.

"If you think signing petitions or writing members of Congress does not work, you are wrong. When we work together we can make a difference."
-- Justin Sane, vocalist and lead guitarist of Anti-Flag

Gospel singer Helen Berhane released!

Special thanks to all who helped make it happen, including: Gwen Stefani, Duran Duran, Coldplay, Sting, Anti-Flag, Incubus, Bright Eyes, Astralwerks Records, Axis of Justice.

"We are excited to learn that the petition signing from this past year's tours helped generate additional interest and Helen Berhane's eventual release. This is a tremendous start and there is not enough praise that can be given to Amnesty International for their work in bringing musicians together to fight as one for human rights. However, there is more that must to be done to stop inhuman and degrading treatment of prisoners. There are still tens of thousands of wrongfully imprisoned humans that need our help."
-- Justin Sane of Anti-Flag
