50.



Eynulla Fatullayev Alad Et!

Eynulla Fatullayev was released with the help from Amnesty International after they launched a Twitter campaign tweeting the President of Azerbaijan. A fucking Twitter campaign, as simple as that. A proof of the strength when one becomes the sum, when we give voice to the voiceless, and this shows the power of being collectively vocal against the denial of our human rights.



It began with people sitting down at their desks and writing letters, and knowing that thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of other people were doing the same. Dictators and oppressors from around the world were being flooded by these messages, making them aware that they had to change or they were going to get increasingly isolated.
