Dear friend,

Events like this don't come around very often. For 3 days in October, the human rights community will come together at our conference in Brisbane to discuss the pressing human rights issues in Australia and across the globe.

Our Human Rights Conference is an extraordinary opportunity to hear from a very gifted and diverse group of people - from experts in human rights law like Julian Burnside, to front-line defenders of human rights like Rebiya Kadeer, who is still fighting for the rights of the Uyghur people of China on the world stage.

Reserve your place at our Human Rights Conference today - but be quick! Places are limited and our special earlybird rate closes in just 11 days.

Here's a little taste of what you can experience across 3 action-packed days in Brisbane:

• Hear Amnesty International's Secretary General Salil Shetty outline what the 21st century holds for human rights.
• Explore the wide-reaching implications of the Arab Spring revolutions.
• Learn about the Indigenous Peoples' rights movement in Australia and around the world.
• Share Rita Mahato's extraordinary experiences fighting for the recognition of women's rights in Nepal.
• Watch a lively panel debate as leading journalists answer the question - "has the media turned its back on human rights?"
• Find out the future of activism and human rights in the digital era.

Sound exciting? Save your place now and take advantage of our special earlybird rate.

At Amnesty International we've been speaking out on behalf of those who are denied their rights for the last 50 years. We know that when we act together, we are powerful enough to change, defend and even save lives, as we strive for a world that fully respects human rights.

This is a unique opportunity for the human rights community to come together, reflect on where we've come from and discuss the challenges ahead for the next 50 years. We'd love you to join us.

See you in Brisbane,

Dominic Mineo
