No. 2 p.178 TAKING ACTION

No 2. Look back on the list at page 175 ("Seven Ways to be Heard") Which of these methods does Malin use in her role as Amnesty activist?

Malin uses method number 2, using social media and method  number 5, making petitions in her role as Amnesty activist, but she has also used method 7, influence the authorities.
  Just recently because of an Ethiopian woman who was unpopular with the government because she refused to give in to political pressure. She was one of a number of Ethiopian activists, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2005. She was released because of Amnesty after 18 months, on the terms that she apologized for her crimes, but she refused and was rearrested. Malin was one of many Amnesty activists who sent letters to the Ethiopian authorities, demanding her release. They released her in 2010.
