Minehead Group of Amnesty International set up a stall in The Avenue, Minehead, on Friday to mark International Women’s Day.

The public were invited to sign letters and a petition on behalf of women in Iran and Ecuador who have been harassed or imprisoned as a result of taking peaceful actions in support of fairness and justice.

The group’s next event is a letter-writing session on Thursday, April 8 from 2pm to 3.30pm at the Quaker Meeting House in Bancks Street, Minehead. Further information about the activities of the Minehead Group of Amnesty International is available on its website and Facebook page.
