Armed with pens, keyboards and a passion for human rights
A New Year’s message to activists from Salil Shetty, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
As a new year begins, I’d like to celebrate some of the things we achieved together in 2013.
We are still counting the tweets, good old-fashioned letters, SMS messages and petition signatures, but it is already clear that hundreds of thousands of people in up to 80 countries took part in our biggest global campaign event, Write for Rights, in December.

Armed with pens and keyboards, we challenged the authorities to release prisoners of conscience, tell the truth and set injustices right.
