Amnesty International's log
1.http://my-loversinger-pusim.blogspot.com/文が短文ずつで読みやすかった。
3. Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all.Our supporters are outraged by human rights abuses but inspired by hope for a better world - so we work to improve human rights through campaigning and international solidarity.We have more than 2.2 million members and subscribers in more than 150 countries and regions and we coordinate this support to act for justice on a wide range of issues.

(3). I can not decide yes or no, because I do not know detail about the article, which is not shoun many.
1. The news involved with NGO, UZBEKISTAN police and civic group so it is complicated, difficult to get some informatins about this.
2.Because, the articlee is about human rights, it is important for us but not interwsting for reader.
4. Ikhtior Khamroev was arrested in unconstitutional, after that was beaten and injured in prison. Amnesty International tried to save him. And Bakhtior Khamroev thanked Amnesty International members for theirsupport.
5. I didn't know the blog of another Japanese person in the US. Masa is a Japanese and lived in Nara so I had alittle affinity with her. Idid not know that American people usually take 4 days is thanksgiving it is sounds fun. I would like to go to San Francisco.
