                        This holiday season, courageous human rights 
defenders around the world urgently need your support.



                          a.. In Guatemala, Indigenous Maya Q'eqchi' leader 
Bernardo Caal Xol was thrown into prison and convicted without evidence on 
false charges for opposing an illegal dam project that threatened his 
people's sacred river. Bernardo broke no law when he organized his people to 
defend their rights and precious water. Yet he was imprisoned, while the 
dams proceeded and the river dried up.


                          b.. Last year, Wendy Galarza nearly lost her life 
for speaking out against an alarming increase in gender-based violence in 
Mexico. Wendy was shot when police opened fire on women demonstrating 
against government inaction in the face of yet another murder. Now Wendy is 
seeking justice for the wrongful attack on her and the other women 
protestors. It is a dangerous quest against those who have always been above 
the law.

                        When you make a donation to Amnesty International, 
you help us bring light to the stories of those who have been overlooked — 
with rigorous, ground-breaking,  independent research that exposes human 
rights abuses.



                        Vladimir, we use every resource available to support 
courageous human rights defenders like Wendy and Bernardo resist blatant 
injustice. We need donors like you to increase those resources. Will you 
answer our call so we can strengthen our efforts – and our impact?

                        With gratitude and hope,



                        The Team at Amnesty International Canada
