Amnesty International Aalborg and Aalborg Libraries invite you to an afternoon of film and letter writing at the Folkestuen at the Main Library, under the theme "Human Rights Defenders".
Throughout the afternoon you can write messages of support to people who have been imprisoned or persecuted for defending human rights, coming and going as you please. Among those you can write to are Ruth López from El Salvador, Imaan and Hadi from Pakistan, Owen Chow from Hong Kong and Marwa from Egypt. The letters give hope to those facing imprisonment and persecution and help pressure authorities to stop human rights abuses.
