AI Madison Group #139 Weekly Update - April 3, 2015


Greetings Everyone!

     Although Amnesty International has not released a statement regarding this fast-breaking news, we are very hopeful that the agreement between the United States, EU countries, and Iran regarding the peaceful use of nuclear energy will lead to better relations and that human rights issues will be addressed. Click here for just one of the many articles about this landmark deal.

    We encourage you to share this poem, "Happy Rebirth Dearest Farkhondeh," written just days ago. The sadness, the frustration, the outrage, the inspiration can be felt with each line. Thank you, Majid, for sharing your poem with us. Her murder and her life will not be forgotten. As you have said in your poem, "Freedom fighters never die." Click here to read this poem.  To learn more about this amazing woman, click #JusticeForFarkhunda.
