Thanks for taking action for Maryia
Thank you for calling on the Belarus authorities to release political activist Maryia Kalesnikava immediately. The actions of kind and compassionate people like you can make all the difference in the lives of people like Maryia.
We know international pressure makes a difference for people locked up unjustly. It can help secure their release and improve their prison conditions. It helped Yulia Tsvetkova who faced up to six years in prison under Russia’s oppressive ‘gay propaganda’ laws. Yulia was acquitted in July 2022 and walked free after over 17,000 caring people in Australia raised their voices against injustice, sparing Yulia from years in prison. Your action really can help to bring Maryia home. ❤️
Did you know that...
Amnesty International Australia accepts no government funding for any aspect of our work. Globally, we do not accept government funding for our research and campaigning work to maintain our impartiality. This financial independence means we can fearlessly campaign with objectivity and effectively defend human rights worldwide.
This comes with huge risks: offices have been closed, raided or spied on in several countries in the last years. Some of our staff have been jailed for doing their work.
But we forge ahead. We keep challenging the systems that enable injustice and abuses.
You can help others like Maryia
Regular donations from kind, caring people like you can provide ongoing, reliable funds that the people we help depend on for Amnesty to investigate human rights abuses, expose the truth, and mobilise people to take action.
Your ongoing support will help fund long-term advocacy and campaigning to ensure that people fleeing for their lives can access safety here in Australia. You can help advocate for people at risk of execution on death row, free people unjustly imprisoned, and create a safer world for people defending human rights. Together we can be the force for change that the world needs, until every person lives with freedom, equality and justice.
Be the change. Our better future begins today.
