[Mitai-announce] FW: Solidarity with the People of Syria Demonstration Tomorrow, Copley Square, Boston

[Hanzhi Zhu]

Hi everyone,

If you enjoyed our event yesterday with Noam Chomsky, you might be interested in participating in a demonstration for Syria (details below) that is taking place at 1PM tomorrow, 3/10, in Copley Square, Boston.

In addition, you are welcome to attend MIT Amnesty International's next meeting:

Where: 1-132 (Building 1, Rm. 132), near 77 Mass. Ave.
When: Wed, 3/14,  8:00PM - 9:00PM

Lastly, MIT Amnesty International apologizes for not having been able to give every one of you a chance to speak to Professor Chomsky. Out of respect for Professor Chomsky's time, we did not wish to keep him too long. In the future, we will try to manage the schedule better to provide greater opportunities for you to talk to our speakers.

Thank you very much for coming out to join us for a talk on a very important issue. We were glad to have all of you with us.

Sincerely,
Hanna Zhu
Amnesty International Co-President

Amnesty International is calling for a
Solidarity Demonstration with the People of Syria

Date: Saturday, March 10, 2012
Time: Between 1:00 -4:00 pm
Location: Copley Square, Boston, MA

Since March 2011, the Syrian government has engaged in a new wave of repression against Syrian civilians. Syrian security forces have detained, tortured, and even opened fire on thousands of peaceful protesters. Now, the Syrian government is escalating its use of force by shelling residential neighborhoods in the city of Homs. Amnesty International considers the Syrian government’s widespread and systematic attacks against civilians to be crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, the governments of Russia and China have used their vetoes to block meaningful action by the UN Security Council to stop the violence.


Join us to Stand in Solidarity with the People of Syria and Demand and End to the Violence Used Against Them
