The 2019 Write for Rights campaign is the main focus of this Newsletter, with links provided in the Newsletter to the 2019 cases.  This campaign runs for November and December 2019 and focuses on children and young people standing up for human rights who need our support. The focus on children and young people chimes with the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Many people featured in previous Write for Rights campaigns have told us that the most powerful letters they received were personalised, handwritten cards – so do send them if you have time.

We also have an update on the situation in Egypt and an action for human rights lawyer Mahienour el-Masry.

If you want to help promote the Write for Rights campaign, we have the card signing at the Cathedral Green on 7 December, and a letter-writing evening in Barnham on 11 December.
