The Southampton group of Amnesty International meets every second Monday of each month to listen to a speaker on human rights related issues and to organise events and campaigns in Southampton.

The next meeting is on 10th December at 19:30 in the Avenue St Andrew's church, The Avenue, Southampton.

At the meeting we will write cards with messages of hope and support to the Human Rights Defenders who are highlighted in this year's Write for Rights campaign.   We will also celebrate the Human Rights defenders adopted as long term cases by the group: Dr Eduardo Carder from Cuba, Liu Ping from China, and Aster Fissehatsion and Dawit Isaak, from Eritrea.

Everyone is welcome to our meetings: whether you are or not a national member of Amnesty International, please come and see how you can become directly involved in promoting human rights world-wide and defend the people who suffer because they dared to raise their voice.
