Finding the Disappeared | Human Rights Now - Amnesty International USA Blog

Tomorrow is International Day of the Disappeared and I will not be posting anything on this blog as I will be busy writing to the governments listed in the post Finding the Disappeared | Human Rights Now - Amnesty International USA Blog. I urge everyone to do the same. The very basic of human rights is the freedom to express a dissenting opinion, in fact, it is what sets us apart from other species and has allowed us to achieve so much in science, art, literature and politics. This right is denied many in this world and their loved ones are denied the basic right of knowing their whereabouts or even their fate. Please, if you can afford some time, consider participating in this action to help secure the safety of the many who have lost a voice.
