This week we mourned the death of Leila Alaoui, an Amnesty
International photographer, and Mahamadi Owedraogo, an Amnesty
International driver. They were victims of the terrorist attack in
Burkina Faso and were among 30 other people who were also killed. We celebrated the release of Jason
Rezaian, Amir Hekmati, and Saeed Abedini from Iran. Many of us have
written letters or signed online petitions on their behalf. We welcome
them home. Also this week we remembered Martin Luther King, Jr. who
continues to inspire us today. There are so many quotes but one of our
favorites is "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Thank you for your suggested posts. Thank you for your letters. Thank
you for the time you have given to sign online petitions. Working
together we share the sorrow, the human rights successes, and the hope
for those around the world.
