Global Write-a-thon
It's that special time of year again when letters can move mountains.
Last year, the outpouring of support you showed for individuals around the
world at risk of severe human rights injustices led to the biggest Global
Write-a-thon ever! We're aiming high again this year – 75,000
letters on behalf of human rights – and we need your help.
Gather your friends, family and people of your community and pledge to make
a difference for human rights. It all starts with just one letter.

 Sami al Hajj Released from Guantánamo!
"Myself, my son Mohammed and my wife Asma thank all Amnesty International members for supporting me and for supporting human rights. We will work hard with them together until we achieve peace for all people in the world. I will never forget their help and I will pray for them. I ask them to keep praying for me also. I will be glad if they continue their relationship with me, are in touch with me in my life and help me with my new job."
