Het wordt steeds gevaarlijker om op te komen voor mensenrechten. Meer dan ooit krijgen mensenrechtenverdedigers te maken met intimidatie, lastercampagnes, geweld en gevangenisstraf. Tegen deze alarmerende trend voert Amnesty International campagne. Om voor deze campagne aandacht te vragen hebben we verschillende materialen ontwikkeld, met als thema: mensenrechtenverdedigers tegen machthebbers: een oneerlijke wedstrijd. Op de foto's zijn te zien het oneerlijke tafelvoetbalspel, oneerlijk Ganzenbord en petitie voor Arash Sadeghi.
