"Iran has the shameful status of being the world’s leading executioner of juvenile offenders." - Amnesty International Australia
Greetings Everyone!
This week we have links on our Online Petitions, Urgent Actions (letter
writing), Online Actions, and Human Rights News sections. We also have
videos and have just introduced a section that features Amnesty
International podcasts. Watch for more information about our Nowruz
Action in March and the Amnesty International General Meeting in April.
We also have a special event coming to Madison in April. Can't wait to
share it with you but will have to wait until the details have been
worked out. Very exciting! Thanks again to our many post/link
contributors and to those of you who make a difference by signing
petitions and writing letters. Can you feel the energy!
Often one of our posts will include several links to more information. For example, our post, "Iran: Kids growing up on death row - ONLINE PETITION," is from Amnesty International Australia. This post also includes links to the following: (1) Iran is sentencing children and teenagers to death, (2) Iran’s hypocrisy exposed as scores of juvenile offenders condemned to gallows, and (3) Growing Up on Death Row: The Death Penalty and Juvenile Offenders in Iran.
We can't include all news items related to a particular topic but we
try to consolidate those links sent to us by our members during the
week. It is our hope that our posts will provide you will information
about a particular issue and an action link.
We are seeking a new name for our weekly post, AI Madison Group #139 Member List of "Other" Links & Petitions - Jan 22 to Jan 29, 2016. We need a name that is shorter and catchier. Send your ideas to group139@aiusa.org. We want to hear from you!
Have a wonderful week!
