Introducing.......

So we at Amnesty International QUB have finally decided to go global and publish a blog, its about time the whole world knows about out exploits. So far we have been active in many campaigns including "Stop Violence Against Women" and "Demand Dignity" but this autumns buzz word is Burma! So far we have a very visual campaign planned to enlighten out student audience about the many human rights abuses that happen every day in Burma. Our activism will concentrate on "Generation '88" a group of Burmese’s nationals who were are the forefront of the fist uprising against the military Junta in 1988 and have suffered harsh reprisals ever since. More than anything this campaign is an awareness raising campaign as we feel the more the international audience knows about the atrocities happening in Burma the more pressure will be put on the regime to change. After the serious bit here comes the fun..... We are planning a big "Raise your hand for justice" starting with the fantastic photo campaign lead by amnesty and joined in by many big political faces around the world http://vimeo.com/13098894. So what out for a mug shots taking place some time!
