12. Does it make a difference? "Phoning the police, faxing a protest, signing a postcard - all these things make a difference because they send a clear message... I believe that the phone calls to the police in Zimbabwe during my arrest saved me from torture and rape..." Jenni Williams, WOZA "My father, Fela Kuti, was released from prison in 1986 after Amnesty International took him on as a prisoner of conscience. So I am one of the thousands of people whose life has been directly affected by Amnesty's work." Femi Kuti "I owe my life to Amnesty International... Now I am dedicating that life to campaigning against the death penalty and raising awareness about human rights." Hafez Ibrahim

14. What is Write for Rights? Once a year, Amnesty International asks supporters to send greetings cards with messages of support to people all around the world who have suffered human rights abuses. A card or a letter with a friendly message can give someone hope and make them feel less alone. Many letters arriving at once can also make governments and people pay attention to people being treated unfairly. That is why every card or letter you send is important. Governments have the power to help the people you’ll read about in this booklet – so let’s ask them to do something.
