If you are able, we suggest printing up the letters and signing them in advance. Then we can bring them to First United to allow more time to work on cards of support during the event.<a href="https://kwpeace.ca/wp-content/uploads/Amnesty-International-Write-For-Rights-letter-package-2024.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amnesty International Write For Rights letter package 2024</a> (PDF, 515 kBytes)You are invited to join human rights advocates in the Kitchener/Waterloo area as we take part in Amnesty International’s annual Write for Rights letter-writing campaign. Along with hundreds of thousands of people across 200 countries and territories, we will gather to write letters and sign petitions in support of nine individuals or groups whose rights are at risk. Every year, people around the world write millions of letters, emails, tweets, Facebook posts and postcards in support of those who are unjustly persecuted. Write for Rights has helped transform the lives of more than 100 people since 2001, freeing them from torture, harassment, or unjust imprisonment. In 2023, more than 5.8 million actions were taken, making Write for Rights the biggest human rights event in the world. This year Amnesty International’s nine cases include the Wet’suwet’en Land Defenders in BC, Canada, a singer and young mother in Angola sentenced to two years in prison for criticizing the president, a young man in Argentina who was blinded by rubber bullets when taking part in a peaceful demonstration, a university student in Egypt detained and tortured in retaliation for his brother’s activism, and a forensic medicine expert in Turkey renowned for her work to eradicate torture, who has been subjected to baseless criminal investigations, detention and prosecutions. Your words have the power to change lives! Please join us to sign letters and send messages of support to change lives for the better. We have prepared letters for you to sign at the event — or if you have the time, to print and sign now — and bring to the event. Each case (except the Canadian one) has two letters to be signed; one to the government and the second to the embassy of that government. Please include your printed name, city name, Canada and your postal code with your signature. Whether you sign the letters at the event or sign the letters in advance and bring them to the event, we will mail them for you. If you prefer to mail the letters or cards yourself, please inform us at groupnine9@gmail.com which letters and cards you have sent so that we can include them in our official count. We hope that you will spend your time at the event creating cards and messages of support for the people on whose behalf we are acting this year. Blank cards and drawing materials will be provided.

Amnesty in Salisbury & South WiltshireWrite for Rights Members of the Salisbury group took part in a Write for Rights eventDecember 2024Some members of the Salisbury group took part in a Write for Rights event in the Cathedral Cloisters on Sunday 1 December. There were four individuals we were campaigning for and around 80 cards were signed over a 3 hour session. This is fewer than in previous years and possibly reflects the ceaseless campaigning by elements of the media against human rights and for the abolition of the Human Rights Act. Between approximately 10 and 15% of people took part and signed cards.<a href="https://salisburyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/dscf0298.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://salisburyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/group-shot-2.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/salisbury/" target="_blank">#Salisbury</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/salisbury-cathedral/" target="_blank">#SalisburyCathedral</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/write-for-rights/" target="_blank">#WriteForRights</a>

Amnesty in Salisbury & South WiltshireAnd the Vigils go on November 2024<a href="https://youtu.be/DDWKlR03T58" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A video of the Vigil can be seen here</a>.The 52nd Vigil was held today in the Market Square in Salisbury and 30 attended. There was a kind of irony around today’s event as we looked out over the Market Square which was festooned with Christmas lights with the market in full swing. The Vigil is about peace in the region where Christianity began. With an estimated 44,000 dead in Gaza the notion of ‘peace and goodwill to all men’ seemed a long way off. Gaza and Palestine generally (however it is delineated) is precisely the area where Christianity was started yet here we are looking at a raging war and hatred seeming to be the defining spirit.There is a temporary cessation of hostilities in Lebanon but few would confidently this to extend for any length of time. <a href="https://salisburyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/30-nov-24.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> Today (Sunday 1st December) we were in the Cathedral Cloisters from 10:00 until noon for a Write for Rights event so if you are in the area, please give us a call. <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/amnesty/" target="_blank">#Amnesty</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/cathedral/" target="_blank">#Cathedral</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/salisbury/" target="_blank">#Salisbury</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/vigil/" target="_blank">#vigil</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://salisburyai.com/tag/write-for-rights/" target="_blank">#WriteForRights</a>
