PS: I removed the unsubscribe thingy from this forward as otherwise one of y'all might accidentally unsubscribe me!! Haha. just a bit of a reminder that while we live in our little bubbles, there are people out there that aren't as lucky. I marked it completely OT, so those that don't want to read it can ignore it without opening it!!! :-D

I received letters from all over the world. These letters really encouraged me during my very difficult time. They made me feel as though I was not alone and not to give up. Some people sent me songs, others poetry. I felt as though people had not forgotten me through these letters and I felt something change in my life for the better from these letters." - Al-Jazeera journalist Sami al-Haji (above), illegally detained & tortured in Guantanamo Bay for six years One of the comments we as Amnesty members most regularly hear is "I'm just one person, how can I possibly make a difference?" With more than 45 years of human rights campaigning Amnesty International knows that individuals working on behalf of individuals has made a difference. Together we've liberated more than 44,000 individuals at risk. Together we've stopped torture including the death penalty from occurring. Together we've brought human rights abusers to justice And if it wasn't for the 20,000 individuals who took action for Sami al-Haji he might not have been freed in May this year. Last year he was one of Amnesty's featured prisoners of conscience in its Global Write for Rights letter-a-thon. This year we're focusing on six more individuals or groups who need to know they are not alone and that the world has not forgotten them. Honour Human Rights Day (December 10) by taking action.
