By HEER Canadians tend to think only of individual rights, not of basic human rights like food, employment, honsing and health care, topics of Concern in other countries, said Jeanne Moffat, an Amnesty International volunteer. A five year Member of Amnesty International's Waterloo chapter, Mrs. Moffat told a group of about 150 women at the Hen.sall United Church that we have to look beyond ourselves to understand the organization's work. "We can't allow ourselves tunnel vision as to what something like the death penalty means to us in Canada," she said. In part, Amnesty Inter- national eompaigns for the abolition of the death penalty. Mrs, Moffatt said some countries execute people who have not received a fair trial. By striving for universal abolition, she said, such cases might be prevented. "We have to look further than Canada," she added. Mrs. Moffat told the group of United Church Women from across Huron County, that as Christians, they have to become part of the human rights issue. ' "The church finds itself in the midst of the human rights battle although, on the other hand, the work of Amnesty International is not church work," she said, Established in 1961 by a British lawyer, Amnesty International is the largest organization of its type in the world. It carries a total of 20,000 members and operates in 125 different countries. Mrs. Moffat said the organization works for the release of "prisoners of conscience." She said these are men and women detained anywhere for their beliefs, color, ethnic origin, sex, religion, or language, provided they have neither used nor advocated violence. Torture "Any prisoner anywhere who is being tortured will receive the support of Amnesty International, since this is a violation of the, right to life," she added. Amnesty International works mostly through letters written by members all over the world; said Mrs. Moffat. Each month a newsletter is released listing three cases of prisoners of conscience and three cases of torture. Members are asked to write to the official in the country involved, in protest of the situation, Mrs. Moffat told the United Church Women that often when a govern- ment receives ap- proximately 20,000 letters concerning one prisoner, it has to take notice and respond, Another way to become involved in the work of Amnesty International, she said, is to form an adoption group. An adoption group includes people from around the world who familiarize themselves with Amnesty International and work specifically on one case. Adoption group In Waterloo, Mrs. Moffat said the adoption group has been working on one case for almost three years. She said the case involves a Moroccan student arrested in 1977 for handing out literature opposing his government's annexation of the neighboring Spanish Sierra. Held in secret detention for 14 months, Mrs. Moffat said the only' way they knew the student was alive, was from a response they received from a letter to the flattish embassy in Morocco. "Very often we approach a smaller country's embassy when nothing else,seems to work." Shesaid the group sent over 250 letters to the Moroccan government, but received to reply, She added that the Moroccan am- bassador in Ottawa has also refused to see them. Bank draft In a more recent effort, the group has sent an in- ternational bank draft of $50. Mrs. Moffat said they heard it would likely reach the prisoner, indicating if he is still alive, a receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 and the 1978 United Nations Human Rights Prize for "out- standing achievements in the field of human rights," Amnesty International has consultative status with the United Nations, UNESCO and the Council of Europe, and has co-operative relations With the Inter- American Commission on Human Rights. Mrs, Moffat stressed that in order for the organization to maintain its iMpartiality, Amnesty International has no religious or political ties, receiving all of its funding from private contributions, To date, members are active on behalf of 4,153 known prisoner of con- science, but Mrs. Moffat suggested we could all help by starting at home, "We've got to raise our level of awareness and begin by not laughing at jokes that stereotype people," she said. Another method she suggested, was for in- dividuals to search further than the information made available in newspaper headlines. "Very often our news media reports only what our government Wants them to report," she said. group Beeattae the;press tends to label groups as "Guerilla or Liberation Army etc," Mrs. Moffat, said we don't listen to what those groups of people have to say. "We must begin to listen to the voices of the oppressed people," One final example she cited, that has been ac- tivated by Amnesty Inter- national, is a "no loans to South Africa" campaign. Made available as small stickers that are attached to personal cheques, Mrs. Moffat said continual use will spur interest in banks and other government organizations that offer financial assistance to South Arica. Stopping this assistance, she said, may help prevent further cases of imprisonment and torture now occurring in that coun- try:_..
