Dear Tracy,

We all want something special to celebrate this holiday season. Together, you and thousands of Amnesty International supporters helped bring me home last year from Egypt, where I had been detained for two months without cause, along with colleague Dr. Tarek Loubani, while we were on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.

There were days when I wondered when we would be released, but knowing Amnesty International supporters like you were fighting for our release gave us hope.

Sadly, the truth is that there are many who are imprisoned unjustly around the world, facing torture and abuse on a daily basis. You can help change this by making a donation to Amnesty today and give hope to others
Please watch this special video message about the unjustified prison experiences of Canadians including myself, Marina Nemat and Abdullah Almalki, who were both tortured and know how truly dehumanizing the experience can be.

Now we need your help so that Amnesty International can keep working next year to free other wrongfully imprisoned men and women around the world, and help make sure that we end torture everywhere and forever. 
 

Tracy, please donate this holiday season so that Amnesty Canada can do more to campaign on behalf of others still imprisoned around the world and reunite them with family and loved ones. 

Together, Amnesty supporters like you campaigned to get me released and brought home to my country and my family. You made it work!

But there’s still so much to be done and so many more still separated from their families.

Together, we have to keep trying, because being away from family and loved ones during the holidays is the worst thing we can imagine.

With a gift today, you can help us keep trying to reunite families. Let’s do this together. In the spirit of the holiday season, please donate to Amnesty International Canada today

All the best,

John Greyson

P.S. Being away from family and loved ones is always hard. Imagine the helplessness of being tortured and held indefinitely when you have nothing to confess. This is the reality of Huseyin Celil who has been held in China for more than seven years on spurious charges following a blatantly unfair trial and appeal. And all while his wife, Kamila, and their four children wait for his return in Hamilton, Ontario. I know you’ll make a real difference to Huseyin, his family and others who need our help this holiday season. Please donate today.
