Book Sale Success
Together at the #AmnestyBookSale we raised £10079.68. We also got loads of messages of solidarity for Nazanin and letters to local MPs signed.
Thanks all for your support.
#AmnestyBookSale ready
The book sale opens tomorrow (Saturday) at 9am. We expect people will start queuing from about 8.30am. There are over 10,000 books so we expect a wide choice of good quality books to be available all day till it ends at 5pm.
Homemade cakes and other refreshments will be available. In addition as always we will be campaigning on our stall by the entry and this time it will be to free Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe from London who is unjustly imprisoned in Iran. We also anticipate her family will join during the day.
For those on social media our the event hashtag is #AmnestyBookSale. The Free Nazanin campaign uses #FreeNazanin.

Action: Protect journalists in Russia
Staff at Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta are fearing for their lives. On 1 April the paper reported that over a hundred men suspected of being gay had been abducted, abused and some even killed because of their perceived sexuality. Chechen authorities have warned the journalists they will ‘face retaliation’.
