MAGAZINES The Walrus:email AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Canada site, National Office Amnesty International, 312 Laurier Avenue East, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1N 1H9, Telephone: (613) 744-7667 OR 1-800-AMNESTY (266-3789), Fax: (613) 746-2411, email The following is from Amnesty International's web site on how to write letters:
Assume that the recipient of the letter is open to reason and discussion.
Whenever possible stress the country's reputation for moderation and justice. Express respect for its constitution and judicial procedures and convey an understanding of any current difficulties. This will demonstrate a balanced understanding on your part which will predispose the recipient of the letter to be more open to your suggestions for human rights improvements
Follow strictly the instructions given by Amnesty International in the case in question. For instance, if you are asked to appeal for medical treatment for a prisoner limit your written request to this topic. A speedy trial or release might be desirable, but not appropriate for a specific situation.
Tell them who you are and what you do. This shows that the letter is genuine and that people from varying walks of life are following events in the country concerned.
Mentions any special interests in , or ties to, the country in question in your letter. For instance, you may have visited it, studied its history, or been a member of a local association for friendship with it.
Be brief. A simple, one line letter is adequate and is certainly better than no letter at all. Limit yourself to one page (one-side). Long letters are less likely to be read. Only in exceptional cases are long letters effective    |
