Amnesty in Salisbury & South Wiltshire
Promoting human rights from Salisbury UK
The following three factsheets have been produced by the group for use on stalls and on campaigns generally. They can be downloaded here (pdf files). One is about the group and what it does and has achieved; another is a death penalty case in Japan for the World Day Against the Death Penalty on Saturday, and the last is about refugees.
[If any Amnesty group would like one of these sheets we are happy to modify them, with their own group details on for example, and send you an amended pdf]
We attach minutes of the September meeting thanks to group member Lesley for preparing them.

Every year the group runs a jumble sale to raise funds and this year it will be in the market square starting early on Saturday 11 June. Early indications are that we have a decent amount of material after a lean couple of years. If you have anything to contribute or can come along to buy or even help, that would be appreciated. Generally books are not needed and nothing electrical please.
The minutes of the May meeting are available and can be accessed below. Thanks to Fiona for preparing them. The meeting contained general updates and a discussion on the film evening.
Members of the Salisbury; Mid Glos and Ringwood groups met on Sunday 17 April to view the tapestry in the Cathedral and to take part in a video being put together by the Salisbury group, further details of which can be found in the minutes. The group is grateful for the two groups taking the time to come all the way to Salisbury for this.
