WEBINAR - While new Papua provinces will exacerbate human rights abuses
Support the people of Papua in their fight for their human rights. For far too long, Indigenous peoples in Indonesia's easternmost island of Papua have suffered endless human rights abuses at the hands of Indonesian authorities. Now, recent development plans by Jakarta – made unilaterally without any meaningful consultation or participation of affected Papuans – will further put the human rights and livelihoods of the Papuan community at stake Register to support Papuan people in their fight for human rights. Join us for this online discussion from 7.30pm NZ time, on Tuesday, July 12. Hear from a great line up of speakers discussing the implications of these recent developments and how you can take action to support Papuan people.

Reigniting an Amnesty group in Hamilton
If you have an interest in hearing more about starting a local group or about Amnesty International and human rights generally, these are the meetings for you! Our groups are made up of people who get together with a shared passion to tackle human rights concerns, and along the way become friends. Each group draws on the skills and expertise of its members to help Amnesty International deliver on its campaigning promises. Once members of a group have learnt a bit more about our campaigns and different ways to engage, actions can include everything from letter writing, hosting or attending events, speaking engagements, through to visiting local MPs to raise human rights concerns. Join one of two meetings at Earth Diverse Wednesday, 7 September 6-7.30pm Thursday, 8 September, 10am-11.30am. If you are keen to hear more and are free to attend, please RSVP via the eventbrite url
