Our Amnesty team has written three letters for UCM members and friends to review this Sunday, May 14th, and sign if you wish.
The first case is to the Venezuelan government advocating release of a woman who was unfairly convicted, jailed for 30 years, and denied proper medical care. The second letter is to the Prosecutor General of Iran urging investigation and fair prosecution of perpetrators of up to 300 gas attacks against girls’ schools in Iran. The third letter is not from Amnesty International. It is a letter advocating a ban on Sports Betting media advertising, expressing concern that a rise in gambling may have addictive and negative effects on many Canadians, especially the young fans.
The letters will be available in the lobby, along with donation cups to help with the cost of postage.
