Amnesty International's Global Write-a-thon
December 5-14, 2008
"Myself, my son Mohammed and my wife Asma thank all AI members for supporting me and for supporting human rights...I will never forget their help."
~Sami al Hajj, a subject of AI's 2007 Global Write-a-thon
Thousands of letters sent by participants in last year's Global Write-a-thon brought much needed help to individuals like Sami al Hajj. In more than 35 countries around the world, people gave a few minutes of their time to take part in the Write-a-thon, minutes that were worth a lifetime to others.
December 10--International Human Rights Day--marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. You can honor this important day with action by participating in Amnesty International's Global Write-A-Thon--the world's largest letter writing event. Join thousands of people across the United States and around the world as they take action on behalf of prisoners of conscience, human rights defenders, victims of torture and other individuals at risk.
