Letter Writing Campaigns at Amnesty International

Letter Writing Campaigns of Amnesty USA

We addressed (on 15 Nov. 2001) the plight of the two below-mentioned prisoners of conscience being held in Mexico under suspicions that were created by parties at odds with the preservation of old-growth forests in the state of Guerrero, MX. President Fox has publicly announced his sympathy for both prisoners, but actions taken to release the two are slowly developing at this time; all the while they are in danger of torture and possibly death. This letter may be copied to your clipboard and then pasted into your word processor. Airmail postage to MX is .80 cents USD. Please make sure to reformat the date line and the "Your Name:" line before printing. Thank you very much.

Sr. Presidente,

I humbly urge you to press for the immediate and unconditional release of Rodolfo Montiel and Teodoro Cabrera. I am concerned about substantiated reports of torture and coercion and know that you stand fast against such tactics and violations of human rights. In the case of those who are responsible for creating false charges of drug trafficking and weapons possession, as well as those who have used torture against these innocent men, please see that they are quickly and impartially investigated and brought to justice. Our deepest respect and hopes for Mexico and your leadership as your great country emerges in this new millennium. We are most proud of the progress Mexico has made under your administration. We look forward to the good news again at the resolution of the unfortunate imprisonment of your great countrymen who are working to save Mexico’s beautiful natural resources. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Viva Mexico,

Your Name:
