Write now Letter Writing
Campaign Do you want to
write letters to help Prisoners of Conscience around the world? Don’t
have the time? Would you like
an easy and convenient way to be involved? For
a donation of £10 you will receive 10 monthly letters, and
addressed envelopes, relating to current prisoner campaigns. All
you have to do is sign the letter, put it in the ready prepared
envelope, add a stamp and walk to the post box. Over
the last 6 years, Amnesty supporters from You
will also be kept up to date with any news received about prisoners who
have featured in our letters. “When the
first 200 letters came the guards gave me back my clothes. Then the
next 200 letters came and the prison director came to see me. When the
next pile of letters arrived, the director got in touch with his
superior. The letters kept coming and coming: three thousand of them.
The President was informed. The letters still kept arriving and the
President called the prison and told them to let me go. After I was
released the President called me to his office for a man to man talk.
He said “How is it that a trade union leader like you has so
many friends all over the world?” He showed me an enormous
box full of letters he had received and, when we parted, he gave them
to me. I still have them.” (Letter from a former prisoner) To join the letter writing
campaign, please send, with a cheque for £10 made payable to
‘Amnesty International Shrewsbury Group’, to Ian L’argent, 2 Red Barn
Lane, Shrewsbury, SY3 7HR.
