Amnesty International has started up a write-a-thon to help save Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi who has been imprisoned in Myanmar for voicing dissenting views.  The write-a-thon is looking for 250,000 letters written to the Myanmar embassy in Washington DC on behalf of concerned individuals.  Included in the write-a-thon are other political prisoners that AI is trying to defend; a few others include:

Alisher Karamatov and Azam Farmonov - tortured and unlawfully detained after defending local farmers who accused local farming officials of corruption

Mansour Ossanlu – trade unionist unlawfully sentenced to five years imprisonment for “propaganda against the system” and “acts against national security”
