She told club members how Amnesty International works towards freeing "prisoners of conscience" around the world. Here, Jim Lachance, 1st Vice President of the club, thanks her for her presentation. Prisoners who have been jailed without trial for their political beliefs do not always always face injustice alone. There is an international organization which lobbies governments to release men and women imprisoned because because of their race, religion, or politics. Its membership numbers one and one-quarter million. It is called Amnesty International. International. "We are a letter-writing organization," said an Amnesty Amnesty International spokesperson spokesperson who visited Bowmanville Bowmanville last week. In a speech to the Bowmanville Lions Club, Luba Maisterrena, chairperson for the Toronto Chapter, described how Amnesty Amnesty International works.

The letters come from Amnesty International International members and their supporters. Ms. Maisterrena said Amnesty International will call for the release of any political political prisoners, provided that they have not advocated advocated or made use of violence. In addition, the organization organization seeks fair ana early trials for prisoners. The group also opposes the torture torture or mistreatment of any prisoners. And, for this reason, reason, the organization rejects the death penalty. "We do not believe the death penalty penalty is acceptable under any circumstances," she said. ■Ms. Maisterrena said the letters addressed to government government officials are couched in diplomatic language, and they are based on thorough resoarcltionducted by Amnesty Amnesty Mtemational. "One letteMs.f't a big deal. Blit, when you get a couple, of thousand] letters, it makes a difference," she added. The group may also write to prisoners and their families families if such actions are permitted permitted and will not get the prisoners or their relatives into further danger. Through Amnesty International International efforts volunteers can achieve something as simple, simple, yet important, as getting getting a mattress for a prisoner prisoner confined to a cell without any place to sleep. The guest speaker stressed the importance of the research conducted by Amnesty International before before it decides to take up a particular cause. "They do not jump into a cause, she explained. Some of the research may lead to campaigns which draw attention to specific human rights violations in a country. For example, Amnesty International International intervened when the organization learned several years ago that merchants merchants in Brazil had hired death squads to shoot 'street children.' Ms Maisterrena said that the stand her organization has taken against the death penalty has been a controversial controversial one. Nevertheless, Amnesty International opposes opposes capital punishment on principle. Amnesty International International believes that a person such as a convicted murderer murderer who is a danger to society should be kept in jail forever, forever, but not killed.These comments comments sparked a lively debate debate among Lions Club members and the guest speaker when questions from the audience were asked. Ms Maisterrena told the Lions Club that many of the letters sent by Amnesty International International go unanswered. However, they have received replies both from govern- DURHAM REGIONAL CRIME STOPPERS 436-8477 ment officials and from the people they have helped to release from on unjustified term in jail.
