There will be greetings cards to send to Prisoners of Conscience and others who are suffering human rights' abuses, as well as letters to political establishments seeking justice in a number of different cases. There will also be a stall selling Amnesty cards and diaries, candles and other items. Refreshments will be available until lunchtime.

If you are able to spare an hour to help out then please let us know using the tear off slip at the end of this newsletter. If you can’t help with the running of the event then we hope you will still be able to take 10 minutes out from your shopping to pop in and sign a card or letter and make the day as successful as last year.
