Emphasis Preaching Journal

Amnesty International is an organization that spends its time shining lights into the darkest closets of those regimes that routinely use torture and death as means to maintain their power and control. They symbolize this work by the use of a single candle in the midst of a circle of barbed wire. The means they use to set free prisoners of conscience is simple: pen and paper (or computer printouts). Each member is asked to write letters on behalf of individual prisoners to those governments holding them incarcerated, or to serve on committees studying the records of those governments.
