Dear Osuta, As an active member and supporter of Amnesty International, we wanted you hear about how members and supporters like you have made all the difference to Muhammad Bekzhanov from Uzbekistan. Muhammad was the longest detained journalist in the world. Because he was the editor of a banned opposition newspaper, he was arrested in 1999 and tortured into confessing to so-called “anti-state offences.” He was then held for more than 17 years while his family was forced to flee to the US without their father. He’s never met his grandchildren although they’ve celebrated his bravery since birth. We told his story, and hundreds of thousands of people like you around the world joined together to take action in support of Muhammad. In February of this year, he was finally released. People like you showed they would not just stand by while there are people anywhere whose rights are under threat. This shows how powerful we can be when we stand together. We have lots of other campaigns around the world, supporting people facing injustice, discrimination or abuse. People like you and me are living in fear. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Your actions make a difference. You can help to change a life forever. Osuta Yusuf, we from Amnesty international would like to thank you for working with us and being our member. Together we will work to support you by ensuring your safety anywhere you will be reporting and fighting for the right of; discriminated, oppressed and marginalised, as you are fully committed to work with us too. Thanks. Hayley Baker - Amnesty international Membership Manager

Dear Osuta,

As an active member and supporter of Amnesty International, we wanted you hear about how members and supporters like you have made all the difference to Muhammad Bekzhanov from Uzbekistan.

Muhammad was the longest detained journalist in the world. Because he was the editor of a banned opposition newspaper, he was arrested in 1999 and tortured into confessing to so-called “anti-state offences.”

He was then held for more than 17 years while his family was forced to flee to the US without their father. He’s never met his grandchildren although they’ve celebrated his bravery since birth.

We told his story, and hundreds of thousands of people like you around the world joined together to take action in support of Muhammad.

In February of this year, he was finally released.

People like you showed they would not just stand by while there are people anywhere whose rights are under threat. This shows how powerful we can be when we stand together.

We have lots of other campaigns around the world, supporting people facing injustice, discrimination or abuse. People like you and me are living in fear. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Your actions make a difference. You can help to change a life forever.

Osuta Yusuf, we from Amnesty international would like to thank you for working with us and being our member.
Together we will work to support you by ensuring your safety anywhere you will be reporting and fighting for the right of; discriminated, oppressed and marginalised, as you are fully committed to work with us too.

Thanks.
