Amnesty International’s Global Write-a-Thon was a huge success. The Write-a-Thon works to apply political pressure on countries who are currently detaining human rights defenders or prisoners of conscious in prisons around the world, where they are often beaten, raped and tortured.

Thanks to the efforts of Gonzaga law students, the school’s Amnesty International chapter was able to double the amount of letters pledged. The Write-a-Thon also helped mark International Human Rights Day held December 10.
