Standing Up for Human Rights

9b Joins “Write for Rights” Today, our class (9b) took part in a human rights action. We joined Amnesty International’s campaign “Write for Rights”. First, we read the stories of different people who have been unfairly imprisoned. It was really moving to learn what they are going through. Then we wrote letters to the Minister of Justice in Saudi Arabia and to Manahel Al-Otaibi, who is currently in prison. We also wrote to the President of Egypt and activist Oqba Hashad, and to the Mayor of Seoul and activist Kyung Seok Park. With the letters to the imprisoned activists, we wanted to show our support and give them hope. And with the letters to the government officials, we hope we can help bring change.
