This
Saturday I took part in Amnesty International action – marathon of writing
letters. I spent three hours in the restaurant where it was held on writing
letters to governments over the word in case of some people whose human rights
where breached. There were for example a Chinese activist that was fighting
against the corruption in her country and because of this she was imprisoned
for more than six years. Different case was an American woman that was also
sentenced for a few years in prison because she revealed some top-secret
information connected with USA government on WikiLeaks. Mainly letters that we
were writing were targeted to governing that imprisoned guiltless people that
only were fighting for abide of the human rights. They were doing this to change
the situation in their country, they wanted to make it better then it was.
Unfortunately current government in those countries don’t like changes. I
understand this that no one would like to part with the power that they got,
but that is why all those little heroes have us – helping them when they
sacrificed everything for better future life of next generations.
Everyone
that was near this restaurant this day could come to us and write even only one
letter. We had ready examples of each letter and only it was needed to rewrite
it.
I hope that
this international action won’t go down the drain but brings freedom to those
people that we were writing on behalf and we could make happy some divided
families. Also I think that it is a great idea to make other people aware of
such a problems, show them how to handle with it and convince them to such an actions.
