When Sending Cards:

2. Don't discuss the political situation or the charges against the prisoners.
3. The people featured here hold diverse religious beliefs. Please send non-religious greetings rather than Christmas or other religious-themed cards.
4. Do not use Amnesty cards or mention Amnesty International.
5. Mark envelopes "Airmail." International airmail postage is currently 94 cents for cards up to one ounce in weight.
