Filep Karma is a prisoner of conscience in Indonesia. Sentenced to 15 years in prison for raising a flag casually. Today, May 26th, is the anniversary of his sentence.
There will be a rally in DC today in his honor, asking for his release (aswell as the many other prisoners of conscience). It will be at 7:00 pm, in Dupont Circle (easily excessable via metro). One does not need to be affiliated with Amnesty International in order to attend; all are welcome! Please join me in advocating human rights!
Read more about him in this article from the amnesty international website.
**it says the rally is on May 18th, but it was rescheduled to the 26th.
If you are unable to attend, or would like to help more, please spread word about the rally, or knowlegde of Filep Karma.
