That’s why we need you to join us today. Become a member and get a free Amnesty pencil case!
Student activists have always been at the frontlines: from standing in front of tanks in Tiananmen Square to petitioning governments to end the death penalty.
Now we're asking you to join us and help protect human rights around the world. And to make it easy, we have a special offer just for you.
Join Amnesty International now and get a free pencil case.
You’ll be unpopular with the dictators, rapists, executioners and corrupt officials around the world, abusing human rights.
But don't take it personally. The fact is people like this don't like anyone who joins Amnesty International. Because just by joining us, you'll be making it much harder for them to do their dirty work.
Amnesty International has been making life difficult for human rights abusers since 1961. We're a movement of over 2.8 million ordinary people, working peacefully and determinedly to safeguard freedom and justice.
And you have a vital part to play - every single person who joins Amnesty International makes our voice more powerful.
As a student member you'll receive a free pencil case and a copy of our magazine every quarter - and if you want to, you can get involved with our Urgent Action network, your local Amnesty action group and your local university/college group straight away.
Amnesty International is our big sister. When I'm in prison, if I know that someone, my big sister, is shouting for me, telling people about me, then I feel less distressed, less frightened and less alone.
