You saved my life. Now let's help others.

You saved my life. Now let's help others.

Dear Tracy, My name is Moses Akatugba. For 10 years I was on death row in Nigeria. I was arrested, tortured and imprisoned when I was just 16 years old. I was sentenced to death. Police officers beat me with machetes and batons. The pain I went through was unimaginable. This May, my execution was halted and I walked free. Your Write for Rights letters saved my life. Thank you. Please, help others who are being subjected to human rights abuses, as I was. Sign up for the 2015 Write for Rights campaign. I am proof your Write for Rights letters work. Without the thousands of letters sent in support of my case, I might never have been granted my freedom. Three other people were pardoned with me. Amnesty International activists like you are my heroes. You've inspired me to become a human rights activist - to fight for others. Will you join me? Will you fight to free the unjustly imprisoned as a participant in this year's Write for Rights? Tracy, people's lives are at stake, and you can help with your activism during Write for Rights. Demand freedom for a journalist jailed for criticizing his government. Secure justice for a woman imprisoned for having a still birth. Defend the rights of youth activists held in secret police detention for promoting democracy. This is the biggest human rights letter-writing event in the world, held every December to help a small set of cases like mine. Together, we have power to conquer injustice. I will do my part to help people facing human rights abuses. Will you do your part? Join Write for Rights. What you do is nothing short of a miracle. Please keep up this lifesaving work. Sincerely, Moses Akatugba 2014 Write for Rights Case Proud Human Rights Activist
