SIR — Every year, thousands of people in the UK write letters in solidarity with those suffering human rights abuses around the world as part of Amnesty’s Write for Rights campaign.

As a result, people have been freed after being unfairly imprisoned, threats and harassment against human rights activists have reduced, and lives changed for the better overall.

We’re delighted to host another Write for Rights event again this year and invite everyone in Minehead to come along to St Andrew’s Church, Wellington Square, on November 9 between 2pm and 3.30pm. Materials and advice on hand.

Your letter can help to make a big difference to people’s lives. From Máxima Acuña, a farmer in Peru who is standing up to intimidation and threats of forced eviction, to Fomosoh Ivo Feh a young man in Cameroon facing 20 years in prison for forwarding a sarcastic text message, people around the world urgently need the support of others around the world including your readers.

Come and get involved. By writing a letter, you can change a life.

Jill Walmsley,

Amnesty International Minehead.
