Support from Amnesty International Northeast Region, Letter from New Jersey Student Area Coordinator

Natalie Jesionka


Dear Mrs. Fu, How are you? My name is Natalie Jesionka, I am a Student Area Coordinator for Amnesty International. I had the wonderful privledge of meeting you at the Amnesty International NorthEastern Region Conference last weekend. At the conference, I told you I would stop at nothing to get your husband released, and this week I have started to make good on that promise. Yesterday within a period of 20 minutes, my Amnesty International group members wrote 150 letter appeals for Mr. Jianli's release, and today I have mobilized group's throughout the state of New Jersey to take Urgent Action on your husband's case. I will not stop there, however, there is much more work to be done. By the end of November, I will have at least 500 letter appeals written, and by the end of December, 1000 appeals will have been written by the students in my group alone. With your help, I would like to take this even further. With your permission, I would like to make an appointment with the Chineese Consulate, presenting them with these letters, and urging your husband's immdiate release. This appoinment will let the authorities know that students throughout an entire state are greatly concerned about this important case.

Mrs. Fu, I would like you to know we are behind you one hundred percent of the way, and we will not falter. We will not stop writing, appealing, and doing whatever we have to do to get your husband released. Keeping in communication is very important in this appeal process, and I plan to keep in touch with you the whole way through. My thoughts are with you.

Best Wishes,
Natalie Jesionka
New Jersey Student Area Coordinator
