Amnesty appeal



Human rights abuse is a big deal in many places and countries, so I
bring to list-members attention the following Amnesty International
appeal:

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights,  Amnesty International is collecting signatures for a pledge to
support this very important United Nations declaration.  Amnesty already
has 3 million signatures (real and virtual) world wide, and wants 8
million (which would by 1% of the world's population). The UN Secretary
General Kofi Annan has already agreed to be present either in person or
live by satellite, if he has to be in New York, to recieve the pledge as
a tangible statement of the people of the world's  commitment to an
international agenda of human rights.

The most simple way to add your name to the pledge is to send an email
to udhr50th@amnesty.org.au <mailto:udhr50th@amnesty.org.au> Put YOUR
NAME in the SUBJECT and the following text in the message:

" I support the rights and freedoms in the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights for all people, everywhere. "

*       Forward this message to as many people as you can. For further
information, Amnesty International USA is at http://www.amnesty-usa.org/
