Write for Rights
To mark International Human Rights Day, Amnesty International
launched the 23rd edition of its “Write for Rights” letter-writing campaign.
It aims to mobilise as many people as possible to write letters of support
and encouragement to individuals whose fundamental human rights
are being violated.
These three illustrations are inspired by victims
of human rights abuses from around the world:
Ahmed Mansoor Al Shehhi, who is imprisoned for
defending human rights (United Arab Emirates)
Activist Justyna Wydrzyńska, who was convicted
for defending the right to safe abortions (Poland)
Wet’suwet’en First Nation, which is opposing a
gas pipeline project on its territory (Canada).
