the world can be a very ignorant place.....and bloody scary too.....why being gay should lead to death is beyond me....who are the real sick people here????
This is totally inappropriate . . . These people were just expressing their views and trying to make a change for the better. To think security forces in any part of the world use these types of threats on their people is utterly repugnant. Peaceful protesters should not be given this type of ill-treatment.
wow what has the world come to?
rape should not be used as a weapon. in fact should not be happening at all. im disgusted to have families from erbil if that is what their security forces are getting up to.

Thank you for sharing this. It is an encouragement to keep writing
Thank you Amnesty for making it easy for us to do these things.
I am disappointed that Omar only received photocopies of the greetings sent to him. But i am delighted to here how a few simple words of belief and support from genuine people gave Omar comfort and strength. A very worthwhile campaign
Wonderful to see first hand the positive effect the Greetings Cards Campaign can have! Shocked, though, to learn that Omar Deghayes was only given photocopies of the cards and letters sent to him - very cynical.
It was really great to see this clip. I often wondered whether the cards and letters ever reached people - this has renewed my enthusiasm for sending them. Thanks for making it Omar.
Brilliant clip - good to see evidence both of the cards getting through to prisoners of conscience and also that the cards help them - makes me determined to send even more greetings card to prisoners this year
