HIGH Street shoppers sent greetings cards with messages of solidarity to people around the world suffering wrongful imprisonment or other human rights abuses today (Friday).
Many people wrote to girls in shelters in Burkina Faso who in their late teens are often forced to marry old men and few are allowed to go to school.
Others sent cards to Phyoe Phyoe Aung, a student in Burma imprisoned for ten years for attending a student protest.
After last year's campaign, Moses Akatugba who was tortured in prison in Nigeria, was released and he called the people he had never met but sent their good wishes his heroes.
Anyone who would like to find out more about the campaign should go to amnesty.org.uk/write or worcester-amnesty.org.uk
