Thousands rally in solidarity with Middle East and North Africa protesters | Amnesty International: “Thousands of people rallied in cities across the world today to demand respect for human rights in the Middle East and North Africa as part of a global day of action organized by Amnesty International.

Activists, trade unionists, students and Amnesty International supporters gathered in countries from Morocco to Nepal in a day of “solidarity and defiance”.

“Our message to the people of the Middle East and North Africa is that you are not alone in your struggle. We are with you,” said Salil Shetty, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, who led events in London’s Trafalgar Square.

“Our message to the governments of the Middle East and North Africa is that you will be held to account. The world is watching.”"
