Letter 10: Write For Rights

Write For Rights

Last week, Summer told us there was a event held by amnesty International which is about human rights, it is called write for rights.

Human Rights Day is celebrated annually across the world on 10 December every year. It is normally marked both by high-level political conferences and meetings and by cultural events and exhibitions dealing with human rights issues. After reading every case about these human rights defenders, it shard to believe.

The main topic of this activity is to call on the government to drop all the charges against the human rights workers.

Here are some postcards that I wrote.

Case 1: MILPH in Honduras

There are people who are in danger in Honduras because they are trying to defend their land.

Case2: The  Istanbul 10

Human rights workers were thrown into prison the baseless accusation

Case 3 : Shackelia  Jackson

Her brother was shot by the police only because he looked like a suspect

Environment activists

Lessons Learned

• There are many people still suffering form defending human rights
• Human right work is not a crime

To me, brave is to defend the value that we are upholding, do the right thing.
