Tripoli Six, brief update

Category: Human rights
Posted on: September 29, 2006 7:03 AM, by revere

With over 150 blog posts from around the world now registered (Declan's Connotea tally here) and the full length documentary, Injection online for free (trailer here, complete streaming video here, time to catch our breath.

Declan tells us the US Center for Nursing Advocacy received over 150 letters of support because of the blog campaign, even though they were not a contact target. They send their deep appreciation to all who are helping on this campaign for justice for five nurses and a doctor. If you are a nurse or want to support nurses you can get find a guide to their letter writing campaign here. Amnesty International also has a useful guide to how to write effective letters in campaigns like this.

We'd be glad to hear about other organizations that have received statements of support or know of the effect of the campaign so far. You can check Declan's blog for newest developments. The 20,000 visits and 100,000 page reads he has received are a pretty good indication of the deep interest in this miscarriage of justice. There are many such cases, and this one is becoming a symbol for the others.

I am trying to make contact with the lead attorney of the Tripoli Six to find out about the current status and obtain further details. Stay tuned.
