?If we want to say 'No' to torture, if we want to make a stand against
people being locked up for expressing their beliefs, there is no better
organisation than Amnesty International."
"Amnesty is making it possible for the Declaration of Human Rights to
become more than a noble aspiration for the human race. We can use our
freedom of expression to work with Amnesty to bring hope and freedom to
many heroic people who are in prison because of their political views or
facing torture because of their beliefs."
If like U2, you believe basic human rights should exist for all people,
please sign up to join Amnesty. Thanks!

Bono: "Yep! When you leave this building, you might see some people from Amnesty International. These are good people. Amnesty International's a good thing. If we want to say no to torture, if we want to say no to the false imprisonment of prisioners of conscience, sing..."
No more!
Sing, no more!
No more!
No more!
No more!
Wipe your tears away

Please call your local radio station DJs and ask them to play U2's "Walk On;" the song U2 wrote and dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi on their "All That You Can't Leave Behind" CD. Amnesty International members all over the world are doing this to show solidarity and support for the democratically elected leader of Myanmar (Burma) who was never allowed to take power and who has been re-inprisoned since the Myanmar military government crackdown on 30 May 2003.
U2 - Hearts & Minds
WALK ON
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring--
And love is not the easy thing--
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on...
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it, can't buy it
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home...hard to know what it is if you've never had one
Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the hurt is
I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme...
