THE POWER OF WORDS / AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

VIDEO N4 : ( a Webby Award Winner video)

TRANSCRIPT :

Words they can do anything. They can call any dog at night;
they can bring comfort to an old friend; they can say Happy
Birthday to a girl whose balloon are slowly sinking; but sometimes
words can get you into trouble, like the Human Rights

activists in

Zimbabwe whos kidnapped for standing up to government

corruption or the journalist in China sentenced to 10 years in
prison for sending an e-mail and the thousands of men and
women in Iran who were beaten, arrested and tortured just for
demanding fair election.
Now, we need your words to demand

justice,

to take a stand,

to offer hope to people around the world who were silenced for
simply speaking their words.
Write a letter or speak out today. Your words can lead to their
freedom.
Words, they can do anything.
Amnesty International
