Annually around December 10, Amnesty International M’sia celebrates the International Human Rights Day with its Solidarity and Mass Action Event: The Letter Writing Marathon.
The Letter Writing Marathon is Amnesty’s Global Initiative to moblize the public to speak on various human rights cases everywhere in form of personal letters and foster international solidarity to end human rights violation beyond ones own country.
Sending letters is one of the most effective ways for individuals to communicate their concerns to people responsible for violating human rights and to those in positions to influence their actions.
" We know of many people, who have been released from detention or saved from torture,rape and disappearance or even possible death because of these letters "
This year we have scheduled various side events to highlight and facilitate discussion and action on the cases and country focus that Amnesty Int works on.
