PLEASE SEND APPEALS IMMEDIATELY. If your response is delayed, please do not send appeals after 9 August 1991.
If you are a regular Urgent Action participant please inform your local group coordinator if you are unable to respond to this appeal.
Please take action as soon as you receive this Urgent Action appeal. Carefully read the recommended action. If possible, send a telex telegram or express letter immediately to one or more of the addresses given. Other letters can be sent afterwards. An explanatory booklet is available from the British Section Office.
Telegrams and letters should be brief and courteous. Stress that your concern for human rights is not in any way politically partisan. Refer to relevant provisions in international law, such as the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The name of Amnesty International may be used, although letters written in a private or personal capacity may be more effective.
In Urgent Action cases, Amnesty International has to act rapidly to prevent the ill-treatment of prisoners. An appeal is issued when Amnesty International believes it has received reliable and accurate information in such cases. It is not always possible to verify all details independently and in some instances the situation outlined in the appeal may change. Urgent Action participants are always notified of any significant new facts.
Copies of any replies received from government authorities should be sent immediately to the Urgent Action coordinator at the British Section Office. If appropriate, thank the official who has replied and ask to be kept informed about the case.
