My name is Claire and I'm writing to you because I know your site covers issues in Iran. I wanted to let you know about Majid Tavakkoli, a case Amnesty International will be featuring in its upcoming Write for Rights Global Write-a-thon, an annual letter-writing action timed around International Human Rights Day, December 10. This year's Write for Rights runs from Dec. 4 to 12.
We thought your readers might be interested in the case of Majid Tavakkoli, a student activist sentenced for more than 8 years in prison in Iran for simply criticizing the government. To take action on the case of Majid Tavakkoli and all of our Write for Rights cases, readers can visit: http://www.amnestyusa.org/writeathon There they'll find case information, action suggestions, blog badges, a map of Write for Rights events across the United States, resources to help people organize their own events, letter-writing tips and more.
We're also encouraging people to share blog posts about these cases and connect with other bloggers in support of Write for Rights by going to the Write for Rights event page on Bloggers Unite: http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/human-rights-day
Thanks for supporting work on behalf of Majid Tavakkoli and human rights everywhere. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
