You demanded freedom for Jabbar (Amnesty International)

You demanded freedom for Jabbar. Now take the next step and Write for Rights.

Dear Tracy,

First off, thank you -- recently you took action online demanding the release of Jabbar Savalan, an Azerbaijani student jailed because he called for a protest on Facebook.

More than 35,000 dedicated supporters like you have already signed Amnesty International USA's petition to "Dislike" this injustice. In early December we will gather together all these signatures and hand-deliver our powerful message to representatives of Azerbajian's government: The world is watching, waiting expectantly for Jabbar's freedom.

I hope that you are ready to go one step further, because we need your support once again. Saturday, December 3rd, marks the beginning of Write for Rights, Amnesty's global Write-a-thon. We have a big goal -- to generate more than 250,000 hand-written letters in support of 15 human rights cases, including Jabbar's.

Take the next step for Jabbar and other urgent human rights cases. Sign up now to pen a letter for Write for Rights.

It's the world's largest human rights event. You don't want to miss it. And more letters -- your letters -- mean more impact.

Show solidarity with those suffering human rights abuses. You have the power to save a life with a pen. Exercise your freedom of expression by proudly signing up to Write for Rights today.

Thank you,

Michael O'Reilly
Senior Director, Individuals at Risk Campaign
