take heart - your letters meant freedom for reverend samba...

in 2002, he was arrested at his church solely for his ethnic origin and the peaceful expression of his political opinions...but as of saturday, june 7th, reverend bienvenido samba of equatorial guinea was freed under the terms of a presidential pardon...

local chapters of amnesty international usa in allentown, pa, dallas, tx, tampa, fl, and yonkers, ny in addition to countless other supporters around the world wrote thousands of letters on reverend samba's behalf...

today, those dedicated advocates should stand a little taller knowing that their efforts helped to give a man his life back...

take action to free other prisoners of conscience

peace out <3
