Last month we Cathryn, Amnesty UK’s country co-ordinator for DR Congo came to talk to us, and highlighted the case of Justine Bihamba. Justine is a human rights campaigner, who continues to work for change in her country, despite soldiers attacking her family in an attempt to stop her.
Later this month Justine is visting the UK, and Cathryn will be meeting her. We are going to take a photo of the group at the next business meeting (10th Nov, 7.30, at BMI) with a message of solidarity that Cathryn can give personally to Justine.
If you can’t make this meeting you can always take a photo of yourself holding up a message, such as the one below, and email it to amnesty.centralbirmingham@gmail.com, and we will forward it. Your messages of support really do make a difference!
Message: ‘Nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous et nous vous soutenons dans votre combat.’ (Translation: ‘We are standing with you in solidarity and wishing you strength’)
Good on you Pete! Think group email address is amnesty.centralbirmingham@gmail.com though
